Overview
After an adventurous youth spent as a sailor and captain, Joseph Conrad settled into the life of a successful fiction writer. His novels explore the nature of narrative, reality, and competing notions of truth. Esteemed scholar Harold Bloom introduces this new volume of contemporary critical essays on the author of such classic works as Lord Jim, Nostromo, and Heart of Darkness.
The Bloom's Modern Critical Views series presents critical portraits of the writers that are most widely read and studied in high schools and colleges. Each volume opens with an introductory essay by Harold Bloom in which he offers his insights into the author's work and an editor's note that comments on the individual analyses that follow. Also included are bibliographic references, notes on the various contributors, and a useful chronology of the writer's life. Bloom's Modern Critical Views is a critical presentation of those men and women who, from ancient times to the present, have shaped the Western literary tradition.
