This book offers the first comprehensive, international survey of
more than eighty films and videos based on the life and work of
Joseph Conrad. Essays by leading film and literary scholars examine
the films, both in the context of film history and technology, and
in terms of the theoretical and practical problems facing directors
- including Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Francis Ford Coppola
and Andrzej Wajda - who have attempted to put Conrad on film.
Conrad was the first major English author to adapt his work for the
screen, and the story of his unpublished 'film-play' is told in an
important chapter. The challenges of finding visual analogues for
Conrad's narrative irony and filmic equivalents for his narrators
are also examined. The volume is well illustrated and includes a
detailed filmography and film bibliography, making it a landmark
study of Conrad films and film adaptations in general.
