Joseph Conrad Today

OHara argues that Joseph Conrads work speaks directly to readers in a way that none of his contemporaries can. His skepticism, pessimism, emphasis on the importance and fragility of community, and the difficulties of escaping history are important tools for understanding the modern political world.

Kieron O'Hara is a senior research fellow at the University of Southampton.
