A 1997 bibliography of American fiction from 1901-1925.
Conrad's Narratives of Difference
In Joseph Conrad’s tales, representations of women and of "feminine" generic forms like the romance are often present in fugitive ways.

This extensively annotated bibliography lists and discusses in 956 entries novels and short stories from the 1840s to ...
Joseph Conrad
David J. Supino traces in unprecedented detail the lineaments of Joseph Conrad’s authorial career and the fortunes (and misfortunes) of his publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. This work is a model of the integrative scholarly method, combining close bibliographical scrutiny of particular textual artifacts with archival recovery of book-historical information in as much detail as the surviving documents allow. The book is essential reading not only for students of Conrad but also for all those who wish to understand the publishing history of this era.
