The Fiction of Joseph Conrad

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Although Schopenhauer's influence on Conrad has been acknowledged for some time, there have been no booklength studies dealing exclusively with this subject, or the much-debated question of Conrad's relationship to Nietzsche. The present study comes to fill this gap in Conrad criticism, and show how a knowledge of these philosophers' main ideas can help illuminate the central concerns and presuppositions of Conrad's fiction. The author argues that the novelist was often grappling with the same problems as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and responding to some of the key issues of the Idealistic movement in the history of ideas.
