    "Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Joseph Conrad's novels and short stories have consistently figured into - and helped to define - the dominant trends in literary criticism. This book is the first to provide a thorough yet accessible overview of Conrad scholarship and criticism spanning the entire history of Conrad studies, from the 1895 publication of his first book, Almayer's Folly, to the present. While tracing the general evolution of the commentary surrounding Conrad's work, John G. Peters's careful analysis also evaluates Conrad's impact on critical trends such as the belles lettres tradition, the New Criticism, psychoanalysis, structuralist and post-structuralist criticism, narratology, postcolonial studies, gender and women's studies, and ecocriticism. The breadth and scope of Peters's study make this text an essential resource for Conrad scholars and students of English literature and literary criticism"-- Acknowledgments -- Preface -- 1. Early Conrad commentary -- 2. Beginnings of modern Conrad commentary -- 3. Development of modern Conrad commentary -- 4. Modern Conrad commentary -- 5. Contemporary Conrad commentary -- Afterword: future directions for Conrad commentary -- Bibliography -- Index.

    Joseph Conrad is one of the most intriguing and important modernist novelists. His writing continues to preoccupy twenty-first-century readers. This introduction by a leading scholar is aimed at students coming to Conrad's work for the first time. The rise of postcolonial studies has inspired interest in Conrad's themes of travel, exploration, and racial and ethnic conflict. John Peters explains how these themes are explored in his major works, Nostromo, Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, as well as his short stories. He provides an essential overview of Conrad's fascinating life and career and his approach to writing and literature. A guide to further reading is included which points to some of the most useful secondary criticism on Conrad. This is a most comprehensive and concise introduction to studying Conrad, and will be essential reading for students of the twentieth-century novel and of modernism Preface; 1. Conrad's life; 2. Conrad's context; 3. Conrad's early period; 4. Conrad's middle period; 5. Conrad's later period; 6. Conrad criticism

    In this 2001 book, John Peters investigates the impact of Impressionism on Conrad and links this to his literary techniques as well as his philosophical and political views. Impressionism, Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth not only in visually perceived phenomena but also in his narratives and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human subjects, events or ideas. Though traditionally thought of as a sceptical writer, Peters claims that through Impressionism Conrad developed a coherent and mostly traditional view of ethical and political principles, a claim he supports through reference to a broad range of Conrad's texts. Conrad and Impressionism investigates the sources and implications of Conrad's impressionism in order to argue for a consistent link between his literary technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views. The same core ideas concerning the nature of human experience run throughout his works Introduction: objects of consciousness in Conrad's Impressionist world -- 1. Subject/object: science and the epistemological origins of literary Impressionism -- 2. Objects and events in the 'primitive eye': the epistemology of objectivity -- 3. Other-like-self and other-unlike-self: the epistemology of subjectivity -- 4. 'Sudden holes in time': the epistemology of temporality -- 5. Radical relativism, epistemological certainty, and ethical absolutes: Conrad's Impressionist response to solopsism and anarchy -- Epilogue
