Summary: Thirteen essays exploring Conrad's dramatic and moral concepts, especially the importance of action and sacrifice. Part of the "Twentieth Century Views" series, this anthology brings together several of the most influential critical perspectives on Joseph Conrad's oeuvre. Edited by Marvin Mudrick, the collection features essays from giants of literary criticism like F.R. Leavis, Albert Guerard, and Ford Madox Ford. The essays explore Conrad’s unique "dual" perspective—that of an outsider writing in a third language—and his obsession with the psychological breakdown of men under extreme isolation or moral duress. The volume covers his major nautical works and his forays into political terrorism and colonialism, providing a map of the evolving scholarly debate on Conrad's Modernism and his complex prose style.
