Summary:

"The author uncovers the deep Aristotelian roots of Conrad's sensibility and writing. Conrad was educated in Poland and studied Aristotle as part of the Catholic tradition that saw Aristotle and Aquinas as the two seminal philosophers. Most other English thinkers, including the novelists, were influenced by the long-standing English Platonist. Tradition. Hannis will show not only the Aristotelian influence on Conrad but also show how his subtle Aristotelianism found its way into the work of writers who were influenced by him: including Virginia Woolf and James Joyce."-- Provided by publisher.
