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.

A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant
origins of Rudyard Kipling's world-famous children's classic "In
this concise and remarkable book . . . Batchelor guides us expertly
. . . drawing on multiple sources and making intriguing connections
between Kipling's stories for children and for adults."-John Carey,
The Sunday Times From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The
Elephant's Child," Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories have delighted
readers across the world for more than a century. In this original
study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling
created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into
the writer's life and work-including the tragedy that shadows much
of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor
details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary
society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other
stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals'
development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated
with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals
Kipling's public and private lives-and sheds new light on a
much-loved and tremendously influential classic.
