s/t:  A Novel

Romance is a novel written by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, the second of their three collaborations. Romance was eventually published  in London in 1903 and in New York in March 1904.  According to Max Saunders, Conrad, in his quest to obtain a literary collaborator, had been recommended by several literary figures. W.E. Henley pointed to Ford as a suitable choice for Conrad. Literary collaboration was not particularly uncommon when Conrad proposed it to Ford, but neither was it considered the proper way for serious novelists, as Ford was aware: “The critics of our favoured land do not believe in collaboration.” The novel was adapted into the film ‘The Road to Romance’.
