John G. Peters

Joseph Conrad's Critical Reception (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Joseph Conrad's novels and short stories have consistently figured into - and helped to define - the dominant trends in literary criticism. This book is the first to provide a thorough yet accessible overview of Conrad scholarship and criticism spanning the entire history of Conrad studies, from the 1895 publication of his first book, Almayer's Folly, to the present. While tracing the general evolution of the commentary surrounding Conrad's work, John G. Peters's careful analysis also evaluates Conrad's impact on critical trends such as the belles lettres tradition, the New Criticism, psychoanalysis, structuralist and post-structuralist criticism, narratology, postcolonial studies, gender and women's studies, and ecocriticism. The breadth and scope of Peters's study make this text an essential resource for Conrad scholars and students of English literature and literary criticism.

Autorenporträt

John discovered his passion for cooking when he was just a little boy. Whenever his mom was cooking, she would talk to John and share her traditional Italian family cooking secrets with him. This sparked John's interest in cooking, and as he was growing up, he started helping his mother prepare delicious meals whenever their family and friends were coming over. Now a middle-aged man, John is known as the best cook among his friends and his daughters love baking goodies with their dad. What is interesting about John's extravagant cooking skills is that he didn't attend a special cooking school or course. He learned everything on his own (or with the help of his mom). There is nothing better than enjoying mouth-watering meals and desserts that you made all by yourself. John's goal is to help as many people as possible develop a true love for cooking and to teach them that even the most complex-looking meals are incredibly easy to make. John's cookbooks are packed with delicious and unusual recipes. The cookbooks are also a great choice even for those who have no cooking experience at all. As long as you can follow simple instructions, you'll be good to go!
