Joseph Conrad is one of the most intriguing and important modernist
novelists. His writing continues to preoccupy twenty-first-century
readers. This introduction by a leading scholar is aimed at
students coming to Conrad's work for the first time. The rise of
postcolonial studies has inspired interest in Conrad's themes of
travel, exploration, and racial and ethnic conflict. John Peters
explains how these themes are explored in his major works,
Nostromo, Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, as well as his short
stories. He provides an essential overview of Conrad's fascinating
life and career and his approach to writing and literature. A guide
to further reading is included which points to some of the most
useful secondary criticism on Conrad. This is a most comprehensive
and concise introduction to studying Conrad, and will be essential
reading for students of the twentieth-century novel and of
modernism.
