Bøker av Katherine Isobel Baxter

The author examines not only familiar novels like Lord Jim but also less-studied works such as Romance and The Rover, using Robert Miles's model of the 'philosophical romance' to show that for Conrad, romance is also philosophically engaged with issues of ideology.

Conrad's fiction is characterized by an enduring recourse to the performing arts for metaphor, allegory, symbol, and subject matter. This book features essays that provide, through scholarship and provocative speculation, fresh insight into Conrad's oeuvre, and invite future dialogue in the burgeoning field of Conrad and the performing arts.
