| Summary |
The relationship between Conrad's Malay fiction and colonialism is a prominent subject of commentary now, and has been for some time. Most scholars would point to Chinua Achebe's important article "An Image of Africa" as the initiation into the interest in Conrad and colonialism, but if fact decades previously, Florence Clemens had begun this conversation in her ground-breaking commentary on Conrad's Malay fiction. At the time Florence Clemens was writing, almost nothing had been written on the Conrad's colonial world, and for many years her work thus was relatively unknown and relatively difficult to obtain. However, Clemens' work is significant, and its appearance in Brill's Conrad Studies series now makes this important study readily available to scholars |
