This is the first full-length study to apply recent developments in critical theory and practice to the whole canon of Conrad's works. Using a structuralist approach, the book analyzes the author's sophisticated narrative method, focusing on its devices, functions, variations, and thematic implications. Lothe demonstrates that the narrative method is an integral aspect of textual structure, and discusses the methods of major post-structuralist critics such as Edward W. Said and J. Hillis Miller as they apply to the body of Conrad's work. By means of a critical methodology that can be applied to the various interpretations of Conrad's works, this book makes a a significant contribution to Conrad studies, as well as to the study of narrative.

In this volume, the author attempts to apply developments in critical theory and practice to the entire canon of Conrad's works. Using a broadly structuralist approach, the book aims to further the reader's understanding of Conrad's fiction by analyzing his narrative method and focusing on its devices, functions, variations and thematic effects or implications. The text is concerned with the relationship between Conrad's narrative method and the thematics which this method served to engender and shape. It also discusses the notions of major post-structuralist critics such as Edward W.Said and J.Hillis Miller. Thus, the book is not only a contribution to Conrad studies, but also to the study of narrative.
`Lothe's analyses of Conrad's narrative method and thematics use previous criticism extensively ... and carefully. Lothe is a very sensitive reader, even aware of minor bibliographical differences in the various states of given texts. His descriptions of Conrad's narrative schemes are models of clarity ... and his explanations of how information comes to the reader and how this information affects interpretation are carefully grounded on specific detail.'Review of English Studies
