Reviews

The argument of the book achieves something quite new that explains why Conrad not only is a central figure in the modernist movement but also remains extremely relevant in today's globalized world. The interweaving of the psychological, the economic, and the historical thrust for empire pulls together several strands of approaches to Conrad's fiction and uses them to generate strikingly new conclusions. Moreover, the pages virtually bristle with new insights. Ross never disappoints. I was startled again and again by the freshness and validity of his discussions. Conrad and Empire is beautifully, stylishly written.-David Leon Higdon
