TextPublisher: Oxford Scholarship Online , 2011ISBN: 9780198122555 ( e-book ).Subject(s): European LiteratureGenre/Form: Electronic booksOnline resources: https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198122555.001.0001 View to click Summary: This book applies recent developments in critical theory and practice to the whole canon of Conrad's works. Using a broadly structuralist approach, the book analyses Conrad's sophisticated narrative method, focusing on his use of devices, functions, variations, and thematic effects or implications. More widely, the book explores the relationship between Conrad's narrative method and the complex thematics engendered and shaped by this method. Discussing the notions of major post-structuralist critics such as Edward W. Said and J. Hillis Miller, the book develops and applies a critical methodology which is flexible enough to respond to the varying interpretative problems presented by Conrad's fiction.
