Conrad's secrets
[electronic resource] /Robert Hampson. - Basingstoke, Hampshire :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource (x, 299 p.)
Includes bibliographical references (p. 240-290) and index.
Covert plots and secret trades : Almayer's folly, An outcast of the islands, The rescue -- Trade secrets : Heart of darkness, The inheritors -- Political secrets : The secret agent -- City secrets : Chance -- Sexual secrets : Victory -- Medical secrets : Lord Jim, The arrow of gold, The rover -- Naval secrets : The tale -- Covert confessions : Under Western eyes.
"Conrad's Secrets" explores various secrets relevant to Conrad's fiction - trade secrets, sexual secrets, urban secrets, medical secrets and naval secrets. It recovers lost or less familiar areas of knowledge as necessary contexts for that fiction - Malay trade, Victorian anarchism, policing in Victorian London, financial and sexual scandals, for example - and shows how these form part of the texture of Conrad's work. "Conrad's Secrets" advocates and enacts an historical formalist approach that, among other things, shows how Conrad's Malay tales are differentiated from adventure romance; that throws a new light on Conrad's use of Marlow as narrator; that provides a thickly contextualised reading of The Secret Agent; and recovers a neglected aspect of Conrad's writing career - as a writer of World War I fiction.

This text explores a range of knowledges which would have been familiar to Conrad and his original readers. Drawing on research into trade, policing, sexual and financial scandals, changing theories of trauma and contemporary war-crimes, it provides contexts for Conrad's fictions and produces original readings of his work.
