Best known as the author of Heart of Darkness , Joseph Conrad
(1857-1924) is one of the most widely taught writers in the English
language. Conrad's work has taken on a new importance in the
dawning of the 21st century: in the wake of September 11 many
cultural commentators returned to his novel The Secret Agent to
discuss the roots of terrorism, and the overarching theme of
colonialism in much of his work has positioned his writing as
central to not only literature scholars, but also to postcolonial
and cultural studies scholars and, more recently, to scholars
interested in globalization. Reading Conrad Now is a collection of
original essays by leading Conrad scholars that rereads Conrad in
light of his representations of post-colonialism, of empire,
imperialism, and of modernism and modernity-questions that are once
again relevant today. The collection is framed by an introduction
by J. Hillis Miller-one of the most important literary critics
today-and a concluding extensive interview with Edward Said (one of
his final interviews before his death on September 25, 2003)- the
most prominent postcolonial critic-addressing his lifelong
fascination with Conrad. Reading Conrad Now will be essential
reading for anyone seeking a contemporary introduction to this
great writer, and will be of great interest to scholars working
with Conrad in a variety of fields including literary studies,
cultural studies, ethnic and area studies, and postcolonial
studies.
