Joseph Conrad and the Performing Arts

Conrad's fiction is characterized by an enduring recourse to the performing arts for metaphor, allegory, symbol, and subject matter; however, this aspect of Conrad's non-dramatic works has only recently begun to come into its own among literary critics. In response to this seminal moment, this pioneering volume offers an exciting, interdisciplinary forum for one of the most interesting and nascent areas of Conrad studies featuring world leaders in the field.
