Description: "Born in Poland but living for most of his professional life in England and writing in English, Joseph Conrad was always as much a European writer as he was a British one and his work -- from Heart of Darkness to Nostromo and The Secret Agent -- has often been the focal point of discussions about the dawn of the modern age. With chapters written by leading international scholars, this book is a comprehensive survey of the reception, translation and publication history of Conrad's works throughout Europe. Covering reviews, critical discussion and adaptations across media, the book includes bibliographies of key translations in each of the European countries covered and a timeline of Conrad's reception throughout the continent."--
