This book finds pockets of powerful anti-colonial resistance and queer dissonance in Joseph Conrad's lesser-known works - breathing spaces from the colonial rhetoric that dominates his novels - and traces the female characters who voice them off the page and into their transmedia (digital\/illustrative\/cinematic) afterlives. From Immada and Edith's queer gaze in \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue \u003c\/i\u003eand the periodical \u003cbr\u003eillustrations that accompanied its initial serialization, to A�ssa's sustained critique of imperialism in \u003ci\u003eAn Outcast of the Islands \u003c\/i\u003eand her portrayal on mass-market paperback book covers, to the structural female bonds of \u003ci\u003eAlmayer's Folly\u003c\/i\u003e and Nina's embodiment in Chantal Akerman's adaptation \u003ci\u003eLa Folie Almayer\u003c\/i\u003e, this book centres Conrad's female characters as viable, meaning-making citizens of the canon. Through this intervention, \u003ci\u003eDecolonising the Conrad Canon \u003c\/i\u003eproposes an innovative model for teaching, reading and studying not just Joseph Conrad's work but the colonial literary canon more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46440644444311,"sku":"9781836243939","price":6791.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781836243939.webp?v=1769115550","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/decolonsing-the-conrad-canon-9781836243939","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
