The Shadow-Line - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Shadow-Line - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Conrad''s short novel The Shadow-Line: A Confession (1917) is one of the key works of early twentieth-century fiction.

Victory - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Conrad in Context - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Conrad in Context - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Conrad''s Polish background, his extensive travels and his detached view of his adopted country, Britain, gave him a perspective unique among English writers of the twentieth century. Combining Continental and British influences, Victorian and Modernist styles, he was an artist acutely responsive to his age, whose works reflect and chronicle its shaping forces. This volume examines the biographical, historical, cultural and political contexts that fashioned his works. Written by a specialist, each short chapter covers a specific theme in relation to Conrad''s life and work: letters, Modernism, the sea, the Polish and French languages, the First World War, and many other topics. This book will appeal to scholars as well as to those beginning their study of this extraordinary writer. It shows how this combination of different contexts allowed Conrad to become a key transitional figure in the early emergence of British literary modernism.

Within the Tides - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Within the Tides - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Within the Tides (1915) was the last volume of short stories published during Conrad''s lifetime.

This volume, the first of its kind written in English, interprets the realistic-phenomenological philosophy of Hedwig Conrad-Martius (1888-1966).

The new edition includes an additional chapter opening a new path into the study of Conrad-Martius with Heidegger. In addition, the collection includes a comprehensive Introduction that describes the personal background and the social and philosophical contexts behind Conrad-Martius''s thought, with an emphasis on the mutual influence and fertilization of the group of early phenomenologists in the Munich-Göttingen Circle.

Empire and Pilgrimage in Conrad and Joyce - Agata Szczeszak Brewer - Bog - University Press of Florida - Plusbog.dk

Empire and Pilgrimage in Conrad and Joyce - Agata Szczeszak Brewer - Bog - University Press of Florida - Plusbog.dk

Though they were born a generation apart, Joseph Conrad and James Joyce shared similar life experiences and similar literary preoccupations. Both left their home countries at a relatively young age and remained lifelong expatriates. Empire and Pilgrimage in Conrad and Joyce offers a fresh look at these two modernist writers, revealing how their rejection of organized religion and the colonial presence in their native countries allowed them to destabilize traditional notions of power, colonialism, and individual freedom in their texts. Throughout, Agata Szczeszak-Brewer ably demonstrates the ways in which these authors grapple with the same issues--the grand narrative, paralysis, hegemonic practices, the individual's pilgrimage toward unencumbered self-definition--within the rigid bounds of imperial ideologies and myths. The result is an engaging and enlightening investigation of the writings of Conrad and Joyce and of the larger literary movement to which they belonged.

The Craft of Conrad - Leonard Moss - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Craft of Conrad - Leonard Moss - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Driven by his concern for the tortuous human pursuit of “ideal values,” Joseph Conrad sometimes tells more than he shows. He indulged his talent for philosophical speculation, and critics usually follow that lead. They fix their attention on broad themes (imperialism, nihilism, etc.), with only passing reference to literary strategies. But fiction is not philosophy. This study, rather than rehash the “big ideas” that preoccupy most commentators, focuses on technique, Conrad’s ingenious variations on a recurring narrative plan animated by images mingling light with darkness and by exhilarating rhetoric. Paradox shapes the narrative plan, the images, and the rhetoric. The story “design” unfolds a test of manhood with ironic consequences; characters oscillate between impulsive desires and elevated moral convictions, degrading the shadowy standard they desperately try to enact; the rhetoric proposes certainties and yet uncovers negations, vacillations, and contradictions. As one of Shakespeare’s characters says, “I would by contraries execute all things.” Appropriately, Conrad’s images bring together, or alternate between, clarity and obscurity. The geographical settings are often exotic, but nature’s most “common everyday” visual facts, light and darkness, become the author’s chief pictorial reference. Conrad exploits the coupling of “sunshine and shadows” not only as antagonists but also, surprisingly, as paradoxical partners. That coupling may be his most original artistic contribution.

A Political Genealogy of Joseph Conrad - Richard Ruppel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

A Political Genealogy of Joseph Conrad - Richard Ruppel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, who gradually transformed himself into the English writer, Joseph Conrad, was a mercurial personality. He left Poland for the sea, though he had no experience with salt water. He left the Polish language for French, and then for English. He attempted suicide at the age of twenty. He invested in various schemes and lost his inheritance. He married an English typist nearly sixteen years younger than himself with whom he had nothing in common. He worked as a writer though he made no money through all the years of his most important work and though he experienced terrible psychological breakdowns after completing each novel. He was warm with his friends, ingratiating with influential strangers, but also intensely irritable and easily offended.His work is as varied and changeable as his personality, from his first two, emotionally intense Malay novels, to the stolid and confident Nigger of the “Narcissus” and “Typhoon”; from the coldly ironic “Outpost of Progress” to the nightmarishly subjective Heart of Darkness; from the leisurely, panoramic visions of Nostromo to the tautly nervous, claustrophobic ironies in The Secret Agent. Despite the extraordinary thematic and tonal range of his work, critics have imposed a stable political perspective on his fiction—most often an organic conservatism, influenced by his Polish background. This is understandable; until recently, a critic’s role has been to impose order on an artist’s creations. The approach in this book is different. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault and Jean-Francois Lyotard, especially on the latter’s critique of what he called “the grand narrative,” A Political Genealogy of Joseph Conrad shows how Conrad’s politics were always radically contingent on audience, contemporary events, and, especially, genre. While the political perspective in each of his stories and novels may be more-or-less coherent and consistent, there is no consistency throughout his work. A Political Genealogy of Joseph Conrad is the first book devoted exclusively to Conrad’s politics since the 1960s.

Conrad's Decentered Fiction - Johan Adam Warodell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Conrad's Decentered Fiction - Johan Adam Warodell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

What are the fingerprints of Joseph Conrad''s fiction? This richly illustrated book argues that Conrad''s vibrant details set him apart as a writer and brings them from the margins to the center for study. With recently discovered primary sources - including drawings and maps in Conrad''s own hand - this book travels widely across Conrad''s fiction and explores its interest in marginal voices, characters and details. It produces a new picture of Conrad as a writer, and the first picture of Conrad as an amateur sketch artist. Introducing new critical vocabulary and applying new names from art history to Conrad studies, the book ranges across cartography, fashion, analytic philosophy, manuscript studies, and animal studies to discover Conrad as an artist operating across and between different media. Offered as a complement to the abstract approaches of much literary theory, this detail-driven and margin-focused monograph mirrors the characteristic granular nature of Conrad''s fiction.
