Conrad's fiction is characterized by an enduring recourse to the
performing arts for metaphor, allegory, symbol, and subject matter;
however, this aspect of Conrad's non-dramatic works has only
recently begun to come into its own among literary critics. In
response to this seminal moment, Joseph Conrad and the Performing
Arts offers an exciting, interdisciplinary forum for one of the
most interesting and nascent areas of Conrad studies. Adopting a
variety of theoretical approaches, the contributors examine major
and neglected works within the context of the performing arts:
cultural performance in Conrad's Malay fiction; Conrad's use and
parody of popular traditions such as melodrama, Grand-Guignol, and
commedia dell'arte; Conrad's engagement with the visual culture of
early cinema; Conrad's interest in the motifs of shadowgraphy
(shadow plays); Conrad's relationship to Shakespeare; and the
enduring influence of opera on his work. Taken together, the essays
provide, through solid scholarship and richly provocative
speculation, new insight into Conrad's oeuvre, and invite future
dialogue in the burgeoning field of Conrad and the performing arts.
