- Summary:
- The book presents a sustained critique of the interlinked (and contradictory) views that the fiction of Joseph Conrad is largely innocent of any interest in or concern with sexuality and the erotic. Hawthorn argues that the comprehensiveness of Conrad's vision encompasses the sexual not as a separate sphere of human life, but as elements dialectically related to those matters public and political that has always been recognized as central to Conrad's fictional achievement.
