  • WINNIE VERLOC and HEROISM in the SECRET AGENT THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Parti
    7w WINNIE VERLOC AND HEROISM IN THE SECRET AGENT THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts By Cynthia Joy Henderson, B.A. Denton, TX May, 1993 Henderson, Cynthia Joy. Winnie Verloc and Heroism in The Secret Agent. Master of Arts (English), May 1993, 77 pp., bibliography, 65 titles. Winnie Verloc's role in The Secret Agent has received little initial critical attention. However, this character emerges as Conrad's hero in this novel because she is an exception to what afflicts the other characters: institutionalism. In the first chapter, I discuss the effect of institutions on the characters in the novel as well as on London, and how both the characters and the city lack hope and humanity. Chapter II is an analysis of Winnie's character, concentrating on her philosophy that "life doesn't stand much looking into," and how this view, coupled with her disturbing experience of having looked into the "abyss," makes Winnie heroic in her affirmative existentialism. Chapters III and IV broaden the focus, comparing Winnie to Conrad's other protagonists and to his other female characters.

  • 1 “Sudden Holes in Space and Time”: Trauma, Dissociation, and the Precariousness of Everyday Life Carola M. Kaplan, Ph.D., P
    “Sudden Holes in Space and Time”: Trauma, Dissociation, and the Precariousness of Everyday Life Carola M. Kaplan, Ph.D., Psy.D. Encino, CA In the close‐woven stuff of relations between conspirator and police there occur unexpected solutions of continuity, sudden holes in space and time. A given anarchist may be watched inch by inch and minute by minute, but a moment always comes when somehow all sight and touch of him are lost for a few hours, during which something (generally an explosion) more or less deplorable does happen” (italics mine). ‐‐Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent She had a perpetual sense . of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day. ‐‐Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway Famous early on for his tales of the sea and exotic adventure, Joseph Conrad, in the course of his literary career, became increasingly interested in the difficulties of domestic life—and he focuses on this topic in many works, notably Nostromo (1904), The Secret Agent (1907), Chance (1914), and Victory (1915). In none of his works, however, does Conrad so relentlessly expose the dangers and deficiencies of family life, particularly in its failure to protect women and children, as in his acidly satirical novel The 1 Secret Agent. When he turns from exploring the dangers of life at sea to the hazards of life at home, he underlines and highlights in bold many of the problems that psychoanalysts encounter in current clinical practice. For this reason, the extremities of affect and trauma that Conrad presents in this novel may serve to illuminate the murkier and less extreme versions of trauma and consequent dissociation, as encountered in contemporary psychoanalytic treatment.

  • 325 Michela Vanon Alliata the NAKED MAN FOM the SEA
    Michela Vanon Alliata THE NAKED MAN FOM THE SEA: IDENTITY AND SEPARATION IN “THE SECRET SHARER” “The Secret Sharer”, Conrad’s most famous and explicit exercise in the trope of the double – the first proposed title “The Other Self” leaves no room for doubting that this is a story of a double 1 – opens with the description of a moment of crisis in a young seaman’s life as he passes from the shared life of a crew to the isolation and responsibility of authority. From the very beginning, this sea narrative published in 1912 in the volume Twixt Land and Sea along with “Freya of the Seven Isles” and “A Smile of Fortune” 2, moves in unex- pected directions, away from the formulaic model of romance and adventure to become an introspective journey into the self. In its suspended temporality, metaphors, eerie and dream- like quality, the emphasis on the psychological inherent in the double which is intimately associated with the idea of fate 3 1 Letter to J.B.

Karl and Laurence Davier, vol. 4, Cambridge, C.U.P., 1990, p. 317. 2 These three long stories all set in south East Asia and all focusing on a young captain under stress, were written for magazines from 1909 to 1911. See J. Conrad, Twixt Land and Sea, Kent Edition, Garden City, Doubleday, 1926. The first of these, “The Secret Sharer”, was written in less than two weeks. In a letter to John Galsworthy, Conrad wrote: “I have just finished the short story – 12000 words in 10 days”.

  • Nostromo a Tale of the Seaboard
    NOSTROMO A TALE OF THE SEABOARD By Joseph Conrad "So foul a sky clears not without a storm." —SHAKESPEARE TO JOHN GALSWORTHY Prepared and Published by: Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com AUTHOR'S NOTE "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some little time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for "Nostromo" came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details. As a matter of fact in 1875 or '6, when very young, in the West Indies or rather in the Gulf of Mexico, for my contacts with land were short, few, and fleeting, I heard the story of some man who was supposed to have stolen single-handed a whole lighter-full of silver, somewhere on the Tierra Firme seaboard during the troubles of a revolution.

  • Joseph Conrad
    Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, Joseph Conrad Polish: [ˈjuzɛf tɛˈɔdɔr ˈkɔnrat kɔʐɛˈɲɔfskʲi] ( listen); 3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-British writer[1][note 1] regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language.[2] Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature.[note 2] Conrad wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe.[note 3] Conrad is considered an early modernist,[note 4] though his works contain elements of 19th-century realism.[3] His narrative style and anti-heroic characters[4] have influenced numerous authors, and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that Conrad's fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events.[5][6] Conrad in 1904 Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among by George Charles Beresford other things, on his native Poland's national Born Józef Teodor Konrad [7]:290, 352[note 5] experiences and on his own experiences in the Korzeniowski French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and 3 December 1857 novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world— Berdychiv, Russian including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly Empire explore

Study Questions 7. Suggested Essay Topics 8. Suggestions for Further Reading 9. Bibliography Structure 1. Background 1.1 Introduction to the Author Joseph Conrad, one of the English language's greatest stylists, was born Teodor Josef Konrad Nalecz Korzenikowski in Podolia, a province of the Polish Ukraine. Poland had been a Roman Catholic kingdom since 1024, but was invaded, partitioned, and repartitioned throughout the late eighteenth-century by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. At the time of Conrad's birth (December 3, 1857), Poland was one-third of its size before being divided between the three great powers; despite the efforts of nationalists such as Tadeusz Kosciuszko, who led an unsuccessful uprising 2 in 1795, Poland was controlled by other nations and struggled for independence. When Conrad was born, Russia effectively controlled Poland. Conrad's childhood was largely affected by his homeland's struggle for independence. His father, Apollo Korzeniowski, belonged to the szlachta, a hereditary social class comprised of members of the landed gentry; he despised the Russian oppression of his native land. At the time of Conrad's birth, Apollo's land had been seized by the Russian government because of his participation in past uprisings. He and one of Conrad's maternal uncles, Stefan Bobrowski, helped plan an uprising against Russian rule in 1863. Other members of Conrad's family showed similar patriotic convictions: Kazimirez Bobrowski, another maternal uncle, resigned his commission in the army (controlled by Russia) and was imprisoned, while Robert and Hilary Korzeniowski, two fraternal uncles, also assisted in planning the aforementioned rebellion.
