One of Us

Joseph Conrad has traditionally been seen as a master - a master mariner, master storyteller, master of the secrets of the human heart, master of fictional technique. Recently, however, these compliments have given way to charges that Conrad is complicit in the various masteries associated with racism, imperialism, and the patriarchy. In this book, Geoffrey Galt Harpham inquires not only into Conrad's work and reputation, but also into the idea of mastery as such.

המשפט הראשון: "What I saw with my won eyes"-Joseph Conrad recalled in 1919, a half-century after the event-"was the public funeral" (PR viii).
