 Joseph
Conrad
The current site has a set of downloadable diagrams of the narrative and chronological sequence of Lord Jim and the internestled narrations (in either .doc or .rtf format). For general reference, see J. H. Stape (ed.), The Cambridge Companion to Joseph Conrad (PR6005.O4 Z569 1996). Norman Page's A Conrad Companion (PR6005.O4 Z78487 1986) is also useful. Norman Sherry's Conrad and His World (PR6005.O4 Z7927 1972) has a number of archival illustrations, as well as extensive background material. Frederick R. Karl's Joseph Conrad: The Three Lives (PR6005.O4 Z759 1979) is one of the many biographies available. The most recent held in the UQ Library is Jeffrey Meyers's Joseph Conrad: A Biography (PR6005.O4 Z778 1991). Benita Parry's Conrad and Imperialism: Ideological Boundaries and Visionary Frontiers (PR6005.O4 Z848 1983) is one of the best-known and most influential post-colonial reassessments of Conrad. More recently, there are Christopher GoGwilt's The Invention of the West: Joseph Conrad and the Double-Mapping of Europe and Empire (PR6005.O4 Z7275 1995), and Ruth L. Nadelhaft's Joseph Conrad (PR6005.O4 Z78437 1991), which also offers a feminist view of Conrad. For the book's relation to all those stories Jim used to love as a boy, there is Andrea White's Joseph Conrad and the Adventure Tradition: Constructing and Deconstructing the Imperial Subject (PR6005.O4 Z928 1993). And on Conrad on women, see Susan Jones's Conrad and women (PR6005.O4 Z7494 1999) On narration, see Kenneth Graham's Indirections of the Novel: James, Conrad and Forster (PR881 .G73 1988), Jakob Lothe's Conrad's Narrative Method (PR6005.O4 Z7664 1991), Werner Senn's Conrad's Narrative Voice: Stylistic Aspects of his Fiction (PR6005.O4 Z7925 1980), and Aaron Fogle's Coercion to Speak: Conrad's Poetics of Dialogue (PR6005.O4 Z69 1985). There aren't many thorough Conrad resources on the Web yet. The Joseph Conrad Foundation's website is the biggest: if the other sites have a link to something, it's probably linked from the JCF as well. The site's rather sprawling, with all sorts of things on it: bibliographies, news, conferences, articles, and an annex which is even more sprawling (and, if its desiderata for the future come to fruition, looks set to overtake its parent site). Mitsuaru Matsuoka has a chronology and a good list ofresources on his home page. Lord Jim is
available as an etext from Bibliomania,
and from the Electronic
Text Center at the University of Virginia. |
