Conrad's century

This volume presents studies of Joseph Conrad's work at the close of his first century and points toward new directions in Conrad scholarship for the next century. The essays pursue biographical, linguistic, formalist, socio-historical, and theoretical approaches and comment on a great number of fiction and non-fiction works from Conrad's extensive canon--including the centennial novel Almayer's Folly and re-visions of his writings in fiction and film. New work from established Conrad scholars joins with that of the rising generation to offer a full range of perspectives on the breadth of Conrad's culture and art.
