Intimations of Joseph Conrada century of sightings and citings of Conrad's presences in print, crafts, media and monuments /[electronic resource] :by G.W. Stephen Brodsky. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xxiv, 208 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Chapter 1 imperialist colonialism and the received canon -- Chapter 2 contemporaries and others: sightings by and of Conrad -- Chapter 3 conrad and war -- Chapter 4 conrad's postmodern influence and reception abroad -- Chapter 5 conrad in the spy novel, modern popular literature and film -- Chapter 6 monuments of words and wood in craft ashore and crafts at sea, in bronze, stone, places and performing arts -- Conclusion.

Master mariner and pioneer author of Modernist technique Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) achieved such eminence in his lifetime that his presence, explicit or implicit, could be found in the lives and works of several contemporaries of consequence. Through the century since his death he has lived on as a presence in the works of later authors to the present day. A collection spanning fifteen years of the present author's sightings of Conrad's presences are not only literary, but also memorial. Monuments, sculpture, ships, plaques, the performing arts, cabinetry and even a pub find a place. Each sighting is described in its context-a couple of certain or likely sightings by Conrad, such as Molière and Matthew Arnold, and the rest sightings or ambient intimations of Conrad's presence -fiction and social commentary in novels and film by significant authors who carry on his legacy, from contemporaries such as H.G. Wells, Ford Madox Ford and F. Scott Fitzgerald to moderns George Orwell, Albert Camus, John Le Carrée, Ian MacEwan and John Banfield, among others. Presented in a clear yet poetic prose style, this record of Conrad's influence on these contemporary and later writers brings a significant dimension to their interpretation; conversely Conrad's place may be perceived more precisely in the historically broadening canon from Modernist to Postmodern. Together with its illustrations, Intimations of Joseph Conrad is a novel and unique concept, as entertaining as it is informative. G.W. Stephen Brodsky, CD, BA (Queen's U, Kingston; MA u of Victoria, PhD [DPhil Lit,]. U of York, UK), retired Special Lecturer in the Department of Literature and Philosophy at Royal Roads Military College, Canada, is a specialist in Renaissance Drama, Literature of War, and for the latter forty years more particularly Conrad Studies. He is author of (among other titles) Gentlemen of the Blade: A Social and Literary History of the British Army (1988); and preeminently, Joseph Conrad's Polish Soul (2016) He has written extensively on Conrad in journals (The Conradian, Conradiana, Modern Fiction Studies), and has been an elected board trustee for the Joseph Conrad Society of America.
