Conrad'S Heart Of Darkness - A Critical And Contextual Discussion

by Cedric Watts

100,70€ + 10% CARD

 This book offers a detailed discussion of Conrad's most brilliant and problematic work. Many significant aspects of Heart of Darkness are examined, from plot and characterisation to imagery and symbolism, and particular attention is paid to its ambiguity and paradoxes. By relating the text to a variety of contexts, Cedric Watts explores Conrad's central preoccupations as a writer and as a commentator on his age. The first edition of this study appeared in 1977, and reviewers described it as 'criticism of the highest order' (Joseph Conrad Today) and 'an important book' (Conradiana).

Under Western Eyes - Centennial Essays

94,08€ + 10% CARD

 Characterized by Conrad himself as his "most deeply meditated novel," Under Western Eyes enjoyed a warm reception on its publication in October 1911. In the century since it has rewarded readers with various pleasures. Exploring the intertwined subjects of personal morality, the nature of the State, national character and identity, and covertly digging into the tensions of his family's past, the novel is the last of Conrad's sustained excursions into overtly political territory.This collection of eleven essays considers Conrad's achievement from several perspectives. Opening with a provocative essay on the text's genesis, it surveys intertextual relations and influences, considers its ethical challenges, its psychological appeal to our time, and its contemporary reception and reception in Russia.Addressed to the scholar of literary Modernism, "Under Western Eyes": Centennial Essays offers a vivid snapshot of current critical technologies. This well-balanced collection should help the student and classroom teacher alike in pursuing further the novel's richly layered interests.

&Quote;My Dear Friend&Quote; - Further Letters To And About Joseph Conrad

131,18€ + 10% CARD

 A sequel to A Portrait in Letters: Correspondence to and about Joseph Conrad (Rodopi, 1995), this volume collects and annotates letters to Joseph Conrad by his family, friends, admirers, and publishers. An indispensable companion to the writer's own letters, it restores the quality of exchange, interaction, and debate that belongs to a major correspondence. It also leads to a fuller, more rounded picture of Conrad in his personal and professional dealings: both of the mutualities and rituals that underpinned his close friendships and of the terms underlying his mutual disagreements with others. Familiar names are here - Arnold Bennett, John Galsworthy, Edward Garnett, Ford Madox Ford, Bertrand Russell, and H. G. Wells - although in largely unfamiliar form, through unpublished or inaccessible materials. Another notable feature of the volume is the newly recovered correspondence relating to the implementation, by Henry Newbolt and William Rothenstein, of the Royal Bounty Fund grant awarded during one of Conrad's most severe financial crises (1904-06). An essential resource for the scholar, this vivid collection can also be read with pleasure by the general reader for the light it throws on Conrad the man and writer and the rich context in which he moved.

Conrad'S European Context

by Andrzej Busza

~~145,75€~~ 131,18€ 10% OFF

 On account of Conrad's tragic and fascinating life before he became a writer, critics have usually offered a historical account of his early Polish years. Less attention has been paid to the cultural and literary background of that period and its subsequent influence. In fact, initially that influence was largely ignored. My aim has been not only to rectify that deficiency but to broaden the scope of the issue. In addition to dealing with his Polish background, the book also relates Conrad's writing to other European literary traditions, notably French and Russian. Exploring the extraordinary geographical and historical range of Conrad's fictional world, the book examines the rhetorical and narrative strategies employed in its vividly dramatic as well as psychologically insightful depictions.

Conrad'S Malaysian Fiction

by Florence Clemens

148,40€ + 10% CARD

 The relationship between Conrad's Malay fiction and colonialism is a prominent subject of commentary now, and has been for some time. Most scholars would point to Chinua Achebe's important article "An Image of Africa" as the initiation into the interest in Conrad and colonialism, but if fact decades previously, Florence Clemens had begun this conversation in her ground-breaking commentary on Conrad's Malay fiction. At the time Florence Clemens was writing, almost nothing had been written on the Conrad's colonial world, and for many years her work thus was relatively unknown and relatively difficult to obtain. However, Clemens' work is significant, and its appearance in Brill's Conrad Studies series now makes this important study readily available to scholars.

Joseph Conrad And Ford Madox Ford - A Study In Collaboration

by John Hope Morey

129,85€ + 10% CARD

 When Joseph Conrad died in 1924, Ford Madox Ford immediately published a memoir of his involvement with Conrad at which Conrad's widow took offense. The ensuing "controversy" left Ford with a lasting reputation for "unreliability" which Morey examines in detail, uncovering evidence that substantiates most of Ford's claims. Morey's judicious assessment of the literary friendship and interdependence between two remarkable writers is a much-needed addition to studies of Conrad and Ford.

Conrad'S Drama - Contemporary Reviews And Observations

206,70€ + 10% CARD

 Conrad's Drama: Contemporary Reviews and Observations collects both book reviews and performance reviews of Conrad's three plays: The Secret Agent, One Day More, and Laughing Anne. These reviews and observations show how Conrad's plays were received by his contemporaries. More than this, however, Conrad's Drama reveals the larger conversations surrounding his plays: the state of British drama in the early 20th century, the role the drama critic has in a play's reception, and the difficulty most fiction writers experience in trying to write for the stage. No other reference work exists for those studying Conrad's plays, and this volume should prove to be an indispensable reference work for those working on this topic. Conrad's Drama received an Honorable Mention in the Joseph Conrad Society of America's Adam Gillon Book Prize in Conrad Studies for books published 2018-2020.

Conrad'S Narrative Voice - Stylistic Aspects Of His Fiction

by Werner Senn

157,68€ + 10% CARD

 Werner Senn's Conrad's Narrative Voice draws on the methodology of linguistic stylistics and the analysis of narrative discourse to discuss Joseph Conrad's perception of the role and the limitations of language. Tracing recurrent linguistic patterns allows Senn to demonstrate that Conrad's view of the radical indeterminacy of the world is conveyed on the most basic levels of the author's (often criticised) verbal style but permeates his work at all levels of the narrative. Detailed stylistic analysis also reveals the importance, to Conrad, of the spoken word, of oral communication. Senn argues that the narrators' compulsive efforts to make their readers see and understand reflect Conrad's ethics of human solidarity in a world he depicts as hostile, enigmatic and often senseless.

Centennial Essays On Joseph Conrad'S Chance

119,25€ + 10% CARD

 When Joseph Conrad's novel Chance appeared in serial form in the New York Herald in 1912 and in book form in 1914 it established the author's financial security for the first time. Following years of struggle to reach a wide audience for his fiction, Conrad benefitted from the American marketing of this novel for the women readers of romance. Aggressive advertising promoted the writer's new focus on a female protagonist and Conrad's division of the story's location between land and sea. The novel proved popular and lucrative. Yet in spite of its economic success, Chance remains one of Conrad's less well-known narratives. This fresh new collection of essays from both young and established scholars opens up a lively critical debate taking Chance beyond the status of best-selling romance. In a striking re-evaluation of the novel these writers examine Chance's innovative narrative strategies, its up-to-the-minute commentary on female politics, contemporary ethics, as well as its antecedents in classical debate and the significance of Conrad's last use of his seaman narrator Marlow.
