Beyond the Roots: The Evolution of Conrad's Ideology and Art (Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives)

This Volume Includes a collection of nineteen papers covering Conrrad's writing career, beginning with Almayer's Folly (1889) and concluding with The Rescue (1920). Written by scholars from eight different countries and three continents, the collection discusses a broad range of issues in the Conrad canon, including ethics, politics, and imperalism. While many of the papers discuss Heart of Darkness, the collection also consists of several comparative studies linking Conrad with other English authors, including Milton, Blake, and Lawrence.
