Published in 1900, Conrad's Lord Jim can in many ways be seen as
the first 'modern' novel. This important full study of the book,
originally published in 1988, emphasizes the outstanding historical
and artistic significance of Conrad's masterpiece. John Batchelor
pursues the ways in which Conrad dramatizes with unprecedented
fidelity a relationship between friends and also explores what for
Conrad is clearly a central truth about the human condition, namely
the inalienable loneliness of man. The book provides a full
discussion of the biographical and literary contexts of the novel,
making use of the original manuscript and tracing the literary
influences and sources of Conrad's writing. It also considers the
novel's technical innovations, including Conrad's 'impressionism'
and its method of dramatization. Further chapters are devoted to a
detailed commentary on the text and the book concludes with a study
of the novel's critical reception since its first publication. This
volume will be essential reading for all students of literature and
particularly for those with an interest in Conrad's place in the
development of modern fiction.
