Joseph Conrad and Femininity

Echoes and Resonances

219 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume is unconventional in its critical intent since it counters the established criticism that views Joseph Conrad as a predominantly male writer. The volume gathers exclusively female scholars to elaborate upon the feminine in the legacy of an author heretofore mainly associated with exotic places and male sensitivities. It is expected to attract readers by virtue of the unusual perspective that is directed at the feminine rather than the masculine, as the latter has governed the critical discourse since the work of Conrad appeared on the literary market. The scholars are interested in the echoes of Conrad’s extensive reading and his experiences that are discernible in his prose and in their resonance in his works, and also the Conradian resonances in the world of literature.
