This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Approaches to Joseph Conrad is a collection of essays directed to both new and experienced readers of Conrad. The book takes into account recent developments in literary theory, including the prominence of ecocriticism, ecopostcolonial approaches, and gender studies. Editor Agata Szczeszak-Brewer offers a comprehensive and comprehensible introduction to Conrad's most popular texts, also addressing the most recent academic debates as well as the conversations about narrative and genre in Conrad's canon. Students and scholars of Conrad, twentieth-century literature, and modernism will appreciate the clear, accessible prose by nineteen internationally recognized contributors who approach Conrad in different ways, from postcolonial and ecocritical perspectives, through explorations of gender, to psychoanalysis, narrative theory, and political analysis. Beginning with a biographical introduction by Szczeszak-Brewer, the collection offers an essay outlining the cultural and historical contexts that influenced Conrad's fiction and an essay on reception of Conrad's work. Following that, contributors provide critical approaches to Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Typhoon, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, The Secret Sharer, and Under Western Eyes. In these sections scholars offer insights about complex issues in Conrad's fiction, ranging from the study of specific literary tools and narrative development in his books to the political theories in Conrad's portrayal of the threat of terrorism and violent revolutions.

Book excerpt: From the author of Books like - Heart of Darkness - Lord Jim - Heart of Darkness and Selected Short Fiction - The Secret Agent - Nostromo - Heart of Darkness and The Secret Sharer - Heart of Darkness and Other Tales - The Shadow-Line - The Secret Sharer - Victory - Tales Of Hearsay - Under Western Eyes - The Arrow Of Gold - The Inheritors - Tales Of Unrest About the Book: The Inheritors was the first collaboration between Conrad and Ford. They were introduced by Edward Garnett. The initial collaboration was to be on Ford’s unpublishable novel Seraphina but other projects kept them from it. Finally, they collaborated on this novel. Ford wrote most of it, with Conrad doing the editing. Conrad did not think very highly of it – I set myself to look upon the thing as a sort of skit upon the political (?!) novel. Unlike much of Conrad’s writing but like much of Ford’s it seems somewhat unfocussed, skipping about, rather than concentrating on a specific plot. It starts off with a long dialogue – Conrad would customarily start off by setting the scene or by introducing the characters. We do not know who the two characters are – one is a woman of indeterminate origin and another the narrator – an author. The narrator goes on to the house of Callan, a great novelist, where he is engaged to write a kind of series of studies of celebrities chez eux for Fox, who runs a journal“. The woman, of course, turns up at Callan’s house – her name is the improbable Miss Etchingham Granger – and she pretends to be the sister of our narrator (also called Etchingham Granger). She, like other characters, is a Fourth Dimensionist, the young trendies Ford is eager to attack. Her portrait is far from flattering and is a clear indication of the misogyny of both Ford and Conrad. We start to get in a complicated and not very convincing plot, involving Gurnard, the”coming man” in politics, a foreign financier called Duc de Mersch and Greenland (the country). Our hero – a political naïve, like both Ford and Conrad – somehow gets involved in this plot. Political and financial corruption in high places are attacked by Ford and Conrad, using only thinly disguised characters. Gurnard is clearly Joseph Chamberlain, his political companion, Churchill, is not Churchill but Balfour, while Fox is Lord Northcliffe and the Duc de Mersch Leopold II of Belgium. The influence of Conrad can be seen in the attack on Leopold for the atrocities in the Congo. Frankly, the plot is uninteresting as neither author knows much about either politics or finance, none of the characters is particularly sympathetic and, by the time, we get to the end, we really do not care for the fate of Churchill, Fox, Gurnard and Co. Both men would write far better novels About the Author: Joseph Conrad, original name Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, (born December 3, 1857, Berdichev, Ukraine, Russian Empire [now Berdychiv, Ukraine]—died August 3, 1924, Canterbury, Kent, England), English novelist and short-story writer of Polish descent, whose works include the novels Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and The Secret Agent (1907) and the short story “Heart of Darkness” (1902). During his lifetime Conrad was admired for the richness of his prose and his renderings of dangerous life at sea and in exotic places. But his initial reputation as a masterful teller of colourful adventures of the sea masked his fascination with the individual ...(100 of 2481 words). Joseph Conrad was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he came to be regarded a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature.

It is written from the standpoint of an expert in the field for other professionals that deal with or are interested in DID. Chapters are divided into 4 parts. Part 1 acts as an introduction to understanding dissociative identity disorder, such its history, the different types of the disorder, and its portrayal in popular culture. The chapters in this part cover multiple personality disorder, theories, and epidemiology of the disease. Part 2 discusses the pathology and neuroscience of the disease. The comorbidities related to the disorder will be explained, such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and more. This part concludes with the potential causes of dissociative identity disorder, which ties into the previously mentioned comorbidities throughout this part. Supplementing the aforementioned topics, Part 3 discusses management of the disease. The chapters will cover modern psychiatry, diagnosis, and treatment options. Drug treatment and psychotherapy are some examples of the treatment options available. The authors share their experiences and perspectives of managing DID, including clinical trials and recovery. Finally, Part 4 discusses the sociology of DID, such as potential drug abuse, social media presence, and the difficulties that psychiatrists face in diagnosing the disease. This part provides advice for clinicians and healthcare providers by sharing different perspectives from psychiatrists that encounter the disease. Written by experts in the field, Dissociative Identity Disorder serves as a valuable resource for psychiatrists and clinicians seeking to understand, treat, and manage the disease.

Download or read book Seeing the Self in the Other written by Jong-Seok Kim and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central concern of this study is to describe how Conrad's "doubles" are related to the phenomenon of "narcissism" or a "narcissistic vision" and how Conrad uses the motif of homo duplex to manifest his own vision of human nature. Generally speaking, writers of the literature of doubles, so popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, usually juxtapose two characters; the first self is the socially acceptable or conventional character, while the second self or the double represents the antisocial, anarchic, irrational, or illicit character. What matters most in handling the issue of Conrad's doubleness, however, is to understand from what viewpoint the first self sees his second self. This question of point of view is related to the first self's narcissistic way of seeing. If narcissism is about one's relation to one's image, Conradian narcissism is about the first self's relation to what the self assumes to be his double or what he assumes to be a reflection of his innermost feelings or thoughts. This study investigates from the perspective of narcissism Conrad's use of double relationships appearing in "The Secret Sharer," "Heart of Darkness," Lord Jim, Under Western Eyes, and Victory. What emerges from the investigation of these five works is that the phenomenon of narcissism is not only confined to the relation of the first self to the second self, but is more broadly significant in the relation of the first self to objects, events, situations, or nature. The yellow-dog episode of Lord Jim and the "thou-vile-wretch" episode of Under Western Eyes are a case in point. In both situations a Conradian protagonist, gripped by his own sense of guilt and shame, mistakenly takes another man's innocent remarks as directed at himself and in his distress brings about the central events of the novel. In other words, the Conradian narcissist allows his imagination or vision to be governed by an intensely subjective picture of the world. The resulting state of mind causes the denouements of the works--conclusions which are usually catastrophic. This issue of narcissism, along with the motif of the double, I believe, gives us some fascinating insights not only into the nature of Conrad's literary imagination, but also into the life of Conrad as a self-exiled Pole who consciously or unconsciously projected his own sense of homo duplex into his works of fiction.
