{"product_id":"sexuality-and-the-erotic-in-jeremy-hawthorn-9780826495273","title":"Sexuality and the Erotic in the Fiction of Joseph Conrad","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAwarded third place for The Adam Gillon Book Award in Conrad Studies 2009\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book presents a sustained critique of the interlinked (and contradictory) views that the fiction of Joseph Conrad is largely innocent of any interest in or concern with sexuality and the erotic, and that when Conrad does attempt to depict sexual desire or erotic excitement then this results in bad writing. Jeremy Hawthorn argues for a revision of the view that Conrad lacks understanding of and interest in sexuality. He argues that the comprehensiveness of Conrad's vision does not exclude a concern with the sexual and the erotic, and that this concern is not with the sexual and the erotic as separate spheres of human life, but as elements dialectically related to those matters public and political that have always been recognized as central to Conrad's fictional achievement. The book will open Conrad's fiction to readings enriched by the insights of critics and theorists associated with Gender Studies and Post-colonialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Hawthorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826495273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826495273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.71w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 338","brand":"Jeremy Hawthorn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153123979519,"sku":"9780826495273","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_755a16a6-b78a-4696-b0df-6bb069efeb7f.jpg?v=1770781449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexuality-and-the-erotic-in-jeremy-hawthorn-9780826495273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
