Joseph Conrad
and the
Reader
is the first monograph fully devoted to
Conrad s relation to the reader, visual theory, and authorship.This
challenging study proposes new avenues to modern literary criticism.
Through sharp textual analyses and original comparative approaches, it
highlights the theoretical and empirical limits of deconstructionist theories:
death of the author, text as an absolute
semiotic
sign, and the reader as a
hegemonic interpretative agency. In the process, it introduces several
cutting-edge theoretical concepts: the text as a tripartite transaction, the
notion of subliminal readers, para-fictional readers, authorial dissemination,
and reading as an act of solidarity.
This book examines Conrad s ethics of readership and visuality in the light
of modern experimentalist writers like Fielding, Sterne, Diderot, and
Flaubert, as well as in relation to ancient theories of narrative formulated
by Aristotle, Plato, Horace, Quintilian, Cicero, and Plutarch.
