In this 2001 book, John Peters investigates the impact of
Impressionism on Conrad and links this to his literary techniques
as well as his philosophical and political views. Impressionism,
Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth
not only in visually perceived phenomena but also in his narratives
and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human
subjects, events or ideas. Though traditionally thought of as a
sceptical writer, Peters claims that through Impressionism Conrad
developed a coherent and mostly traditional view of ethical and
political principles, a claim he supports through reference to a
broad range of Conrad's texts. Conrad and Impressionism
investigates the sources and implications of Conrad's impressionism
in order to argue for a consistent link between his literary
technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views.
The same core ideas concerning the nature of human experience run
throughout his works.
