Joseph Conrad is a key figure in modernist fiction, whose
innovative work engages with many of the crucial philosophical,
moral and political concerns of the twentieth century. This
collection of major critical readings of his work is arranged
according to the issues which each critic addresses, issues which
are of crucial importance, and in many cases remain controversial,
within contemporary literary theory and criticism. Following an
opening section on the critical tradition, indicating how the study
of Conrad's work has been politicised since the 1970s, there are
sections on 'Narrative, Textuality and Interpretation',
'Imperialism', 'Gender and Sexuality', 'Class and Ideology', and
'Modernity'. Within each section two or three critical excerpts
offer contrasting and complementary accounts of the fiction, while
the headnotes to each piece and the introduction place these
excerpts within the wider critical debate, clarifying for the
reader both the theoretical issues and the interpretation of
Conrad's fiction. A glossary of terms and a bibliography
categorised by critical approach complete a volume which will
provide an invaluable resource for students of Conrad and
twentieth-century literature as well as other readers of Conrad's
work.
