Book synopsis

Conrad's Secrets explores various secrets relevant to Conrad's fiction - trade secrets, sexual secrets, urban secrets, medical secrets and naval secrets. It recovers lost or less familiar areas of knowledge as necessary contexts for that fiction - Malay trade, Victorian anarchism, policing in Victorian London, financial and sexual scandals, for example - and shows how these form part of the texture of Conrad's work. Conrad's Secrets advocates and enacts an historical formalist approach that, among other things, shows how Conrad's Malay tales are differentiated from adventure romance; that throws a new light on Conrad's use of Marlow as narrator; that provides a thickly contextualised reading of The Secret Agent; and recovers a neglected aspect of Conrad's writing career - as a writer of World War I fiction.
