"In a book remarkable for its ability to coordinate large masses of material, Elsa Nettels offers the first extended comparison of James and Conrad. She begins her study with a brief history of the relationship between the two writers, discussing therir various meetings, their impressions of each other, their critricism of each other's work, and their correspondence. There follows an analysis of their principles and methods, which concentrates on their definitions of representation, self-expression, and truth in fiction, their ideas of creative process, and their conceptions of the novelist in relation to both his characters and his readers." 289 pages.
