Evidence: | 'The review [in the "Spectator"] is good is it not.The "Speaker" also reviewed me the same week--Whig and Tory. That is also a good review. Upon the whole the "Press" is good. The provincila papers seem to catch on to Jim. They sent me cuttings from Ed'gh. The Bradford "Observer" was most appreciative.' |

This is an example giving evidence of Conrad reading his own press reviews.These reviews appear to refer to 'Lord Jim' published in book form 15 October 1900, and serialised in Blackwood's Magazine October 1899-November, 1900. many other examples are to be found in his letters for example,during this period alone there were comments to David Meldrum (p.298 of source text) , to John Galsworthy (p.312 of source text) to Ford Madox Ford (p.340,353 of source text) and to J.B.Pinker (p.341 of source text.) |
