Detectives, police informers, spies and spymasters, anarchists and terrorists, swindlers: these are the character types explored in Conrad's Popular Fictions. This book shows how Joseph Conrad experimented creatively with genres such as crime and espionage fiction, and sheds new light on the sources and contexts of his work.
“Glazzard examines themes such as espionage, diplomacy, investigation, and terrorism in Conrad’s work, tracing them back to popular contemporary texts … . A substantial work using an innovative approach, Conrad’s Popular Fictions could potentially serve as a reference point for future research on some of Conrad’s less frequently discussed writings. It is also recommended for those who are interested in turn-of-the-century English literature, culture,and the period’s sociological background.” (József Szabolcs Fagyal, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, Vol. 24 (1), 2018)
