- Summary:
- This book explores the importance of sacrifice in Joseph Conrad's major fiction, both as a theme and as an attitude that informs Conrad's stance as a writer, showing how his biography, politics, and literary background shaped his treatment of the problem. Examining Conrad through the lens of sacrifice not only unites these often discrete approaches to his work but also bridges early Conrad (male-oriented investigations of guilt and solidarity) with later Conrad (works interested in male-female relationships). Texts treated in this book include The Niger of the Narcissus, Lord Jim, Under Western Eyes, and Chance.
