Mario Paz has, in the Romantic Agony, acutely analyzed the effect of the traditions of Byron and De Sade upon poets and painters from 1800 to 1900. It is the analysis of a mood in literature. The mood may ve been transient, but it was widespread, and it was expressed in dreams of "luxurious cruelties," "fatal women," corpse-passions, and the sinful agonies of delight. Professo Praz has described the whole Romantic literature under one of its most characteristic aspects, that of erotic sensibility.

This new edition combines Conrad's searing classic "Heart of Darkness" with an equally provocative, though less well known novella, "The Secret Agent". The volume is enriched by a number of intriguing gems from the archives of The New York Public Library, including a handwritten note from the author to his London agent and another to H.L. Mencken.
