What are the fingerprints of Joseph Conrad' s fiction? This richly illustrated book argues that Conrad' s vibrant details set him apart as a writer and brings them from the margins to the center for study. With recently discovered primary sources - including drawings and maps in Conrad' s own hand - this book travels widely across Conrad' s fiction and explores its interest in marginal voices, characters and details. It produces a new picture of Conrad as a writer, and the first picture of Conrad as an amateur sketch artist. Introducing new critical vocabulary and applying new names from art history to Conrad studies, the book ranges across cartography, fashion, analytic philosophy, manuscript studies, and animal studies to discover Conrad as an artist operating across and between different media. Offered as a complement to the abstract approaches of much literary theory, this detail-driven and margin-focused monograph mirrors the characteristic granular nature of Conrad' s fiction.
Johan Adam Warodell' s articles on Joseph Conrad have appeared in The Cambridge Quarterly, Conradiana, The Conradian, English, and Notes & Queries, and won prizes from both the British and American Joseph Conrad Societies. He translated Olof Lagercrantz' s monograph on Conrad and has also published on Woolf, Nabokov, and Melville.
