Abstract

Since the publication of Joseph Conrad’s “Author’s Note” (1920) to A Set of Six (1908), readers have been aware that the plot for the Napolonic tale “The Duel” derived from an existing account. What has been unknown till now is the large number of venues in which that account variously appeared. This volume traces the tale’s fascinating genealogy and the immediate contemporary source that inspired Conrad’s 1907 story. A transcription of the story’s typescript-manuscript sheds light on the story’s development. Conrad’s “The Duel”: Sources/Text will interest several readerships. Scholars engaged in historical and textual research can explore how Conrad drew upon, reworked, and transformed the story’s sources. The relationships between the tale’s initial draft and final form will interest scholars of genetic questions, and teachers of short fiction and of creative writing will find this an invaluable volume for exploring how source materials alter during the creative process.

Abstract

This book presents a new interpretation of Joseph Conrad's novel Lord Jim based on readings from not only its published text but also its principal manuscript text. Extensive use of the manuscript text has not been a feature of any other work on Lord Jim, and such use helps bring into focus a fixed pattern of meaning and an implicit unity that Conrad said the novel has. This result controverts not only postmodern critics, who say that the novel lacks any fixed pattern of meaning, but almost a...

Abstract

When Joseph Conrad’s novel Chance appeared in serial form in the New York Herald in 1912 and in book form in 1914 it established the author’s financial security for the first time. Following years of struggle to reach a wide audience for his fiction, Conrad benefitted from the American marketing of this novel for the women readers of romance. Aggressive advertising promoted the writer’s new focus on a female protagonist and Conrad’s division of the story’s location between land and sea. The novel proved popular and lucrative. Yet in spite of its economic success, Chance remains one of Conrad’s less well-known narratives. This fresh new collection of essays from both young and established scholars opens up a lively critical debate taking Chance beyond the status of best-selling romance. In a striking re-evaluation of the novel these writers examine Chance ’s innovative narrative strategies, its up-to-the-minute commentary on female politics, contemporary ethics, as well as its antecedents in classical debate and the significance of Conrad’s last use of his seaman narrator Marlow.

Abstract

Wat kan de vorm van een schedel zeggen over iemands persoonlijkheid? Het is een vraag die de Weense arts Franz Joseph Gall eind achttiende eeuw mateloos intrigeerde. Volgens Gall kon men door aan de schedel te voelen moordzucht, agressie en andere eigenschappen lokaliseren – een wetenschap die later bekend werd onder de naam frenologie. Hij concludeerde dat dat de geest zich in het brein bevond en dat geestesziekten dan ook hersenaandoeningen waren. Het lokaliseren van eigenschappen door de schedel te betasten bleek een dramatische misvatting. Niettemin leverde Gall indrukwekkende bijdragen aan de wetenschap. In 1796 begon hij met lezingen in zijn huis in Wenen, waarbij hij hersenen in een zorgvuldige mix van theater en wetenschap ontleedde. Toen de Oostenrijkse keizer Franz II deze controversiële evenementen verbood, besloot Gall zijn geluk elders te beproeven en trok met een koets vol schedels door heel Europa. Zijn ster rees snel, maar de ijdele Gall bleef achtervolgd door controverse. In Frankrijk kreeg hij ruzie met Napoleon en de Kerk plaatste al zijn boeken op de Index. Desondanks veroverden zijn ideeën Groot-Brittannië en Amerika en hadden daar enorme invloed. Galls denkbeelden raakten alle gebieden van de maatschappij, van de geneeskunde tot de kunsten, ze drongen door tot de rechtszaal en effenden de weg voor de antropologie en de neuropsychologie. En ze zijn nog altijd niet uit de wetenschappelijke arena verdwenen. Met veel kennis van zaken schetst Theo Mulder een portret van het veelbewogen leven van Gall en zijn volgers tegen de wetenschappelijke en politieke achtergrond van de negentiende eeuw. Theo Mulder is neuropsycholoog, was hoogleraar in Nijmegen en Groningen en directeur Instituten van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen (KNAW). Eerder schreef hij de bestseller De geboren aanpasser.
