This book takes a postcritical perspective on Joseph Conrad's
central texts, including Heart of Darkness, The Secret Agent, Under
Western Eyes, and Lord Jim. Whereas critique is a form of reading
that prioritizes suspicion, unmasking, and demystifying,
postcritique ascribes positive value to the knowledge, affect,
ethics, and politics that emerge from literature. The essays in
this collection recognize the dark elements in Conrad's
fiction-deceit, vanity, avarice, lust, cynicism, and cruelty-yet
they perceive hopefulness as well. Conrad's skepticism unveils the
dark heart of politics, and his critical heritage can feed our fear
that humanity is incapable of improving. This Conrad is a
well-known figure, but there is another, neglected Conrad that this
book aims to bring to light, one who delves into the politics of
hope as well as the politics of fear. Chapters 1 and 2 are
available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
