Joseph Conrad and the Performing Arts - Katherine Isobel Baxter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Joseph Conrad and the Performing Arts - Katherine Isobel Baxter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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.

The Selected Letters of Joseph Conrad - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Selected Letters of Joseph Conrad - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Since the publication of the Cambridge edition of The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad, the numerous letters in the nine volumes, many of them published for the first time and many more taken from hard-to-find books and journals, have had a profound influence on writing about Conrad. This selection makes the highlights available in one volume. The letters have been re-edited with shorter footnotes and an emphasis on the latest scholarship. Letters originally written in French or Polish appear only in revised English translations. Among the topics that stand out are Conrad''s memories of growing up in Poland and Ukraine, his ideas about fiction, often expressed in precise but sympathetic comments on the work of his friends, the anxieties of war and revolution, his struggle to keep his integrity as a writer, and his lives as a sailor and a family man.
