Book Description
This essay explores the nature of imperialism in Joseph Conrad's story "Karain: A Memory." Unlike many others of its kind in the late 19th century, "Karain" brings to its readers the sense of dual identities common among colonial and post-colonial people. Focusing on both Homi Bhabha's ideas of hybridity and Gayatri Spivak's notions regarding the voice of the Other, this essay is an in-depth textual analysis of how Conrad uses both representatives of the native and representatives of Empire to move us toward a firm understanding of identity. From this perspective, the essay delves into the very question of the native subject and his autonomy

Book Description
We knew him in those unprotected days when we were content to hold in our hands our lives and our property. None of us, I believe, has any property now, and I hear that many, negligently, have lost their lives; but I am sure that the few who survive are not yet so dim-eyed as to miss in the befogged respectability of their newspapers the intelligence of various native risings in the Eastern Archipelago. Sunshine gleams between the lines of those short paragraphs-sunshine and the glitter of the sea.

Book Description
Works such as Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, Virginia Woolf's The Voyage Out, E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, and Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust explore the relationship between Britain and its colonies when the British Empire was at its height. David Adams observes that, because of their structure and specific literary allusions, they also demand to be read in relation to the epic tradition. The elegantly written and powerfully argued Colonial Odysseys focuses on narratives published in English between 1890 and 1940 in which protagonists journey from the familiar world of Europe to alien colonial worlds. The underlying concerns of these narratives, Adams discovers, are often less political or literary than metaphysical: in each of these fictions a major character dies as a result of the journey, inviting reflection on the negation of existence. Repeatedly, imaginative encounters with distant, uncanny colonies produce familiar, insular presentations of life as an odyssey, with death as the home port. Expanding postcolonial and Marxist theories by drawing on the philosophy of Hans Blumenberg, Adams finds in this preoccupation with mortality a symptom of the failure of secular culture to give meaning to death. This concern, in his view, shapes the ways modernist narratives reinforce or critique imperial culture—the authors project onto British imperial experience their anxieties about the individual's relation to the absolute.

Book Description
Designed for students and teachers of the short story at the college and high school levels, this bibliography covers American, Canadian, and British authors and stories most frequently anthologized for classroom study, plus a few authors the editors believe have been unjustly neglected. Opening chapters cover reference works, bibliographies, histories of the short story, and short story theory, including the most important new thinking on the genre. Chapters on individual authors (arranged alphabetically) include standard biographies, general critical studies, and discussions of individual stories, particularly those frequently anthologized and studied in the classroom. Throughout, the emphasis is on books and journal articles (from Studies in Short Fiction and Modern Fiction Studies especially) readily available to students and teachers in college or public libraries. Annotations are detailed, providing not only a synopsis of the content, but also the author's approach (Biographical, formalist, structuralist, psychological, etc.). Highly technical or very difficult studies are generally not included. The result is a comprehensive and easy to use guide to the scholarship and criticism on a wide range of important British and American short story writers, ranging in time from Robert Lewis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe to Raymond Carter and Alice Munro.

Book Description
Spectrality in Modernist Fiction argues that key modernist writers, chiefly Conrad, Forster, Butts, and Bowen, use spectral rhetoric to tackle problems of sex and sexuality, revolution, imperialism, capitalism, and desire all through complicated ethical engagements. These engagements invariably come packaged in, and are shaped by, the language of spectrality. In its capacity to articulate a particular sort of relationship between the past, the present and the future, the spectral concerns the basic question of how to proceed, how to live with-maybe even address-ethical indeterminacy. Whether their spectral rhetoric traces the logics of capitalist possession (Conrad), queer "friendship" and paganized Christianity (Forster), regressive politics haunted by historical traumas (Butts), or the devious passages of perverse desire (Bowen), these writers locate something like hope in their ghosts. The ethical and political impasses they chart through their spectral rhetoric are not final, but temporary, and the drive to overcome them constitutes a tensile optimism.
