TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Just as the poet must seek the appropriate word to convey an idea with sufficient vigor and yet obtain the cadence and rhyme necessary for the finished product, so also the translator must achieve the proper expression in one language to convey accurately and with equal vigor the author's ideas as expressed in his original language. In this process the languages in the translator's mind tend to lose their identity and one language easily assumes the idiosyncrasies of the other. I am therefore particularly grateful to Dr. Wallace L. Goldstein for his assistance in indicating flaws in grammatical constructions which would have resulted from the merging of the two languages.

Who was Abraham Fabert, and why should an account of him be written in English ? The biography now offered to the public had this natural origin. Many years ago, while travelling for rest and recre- ation, the author picked up at an Edinburgh book-stall a copy of the Vie de Fahert par le Pere Barre, and read it for amusement. Until then he knew no more of Fabert than this—that he was a Marshal of France whose statue he had seen at Metz, that his name figures in the Appendix to Voltaire's Steele de Louis XIV., and that it was mentioned here and there by other historians. The two little brown volumes of the Canon of St. Genevieve, however, disclosed the character of a man, so difteront in many respects from that of the French soldiers of his time, that the author was led to push his inquiries farther and deeper ; and thus he came to admire, and felt constrained to write out his estimate of the adventures, attainments, and high qualities of this Fabert.

Cohen and Margaret Reeves The Youth of Early Modern Women The Youth of Early Modern Women Gendering the Late Medieval and Early Modern World Series editors: James Daybell (Chair), Victoria E. Burke, Svante Norrhem, and Merry Wiesner-Hanks This series provides a forum for studies that investigate women, gender, and/ or sexuality in the late medieval and early modern world. The editors invite proposals for book-length studies of an interdisciplinary nature, including, but not exclusively, from the fields of history, literature, art and architectural history, and visual and material culture. Consideration will be given to both monographs and collections of essays. Chronologically, we welcome studies that look at the period between 1400 and 1700, with a focus on any part of the world, as well as comparative and global works. We invite proposals including, but not limited to, the following broad themes: methodologies, theories and meanings of gender; gender, power and political culture; monarchs, courts and power; constructions of femininity and masculinity; gift-giving, diplomacy and the politics of exchange; gender and the politics of early modern archives; gender and architectural spaces (courts, salons, household); consumption and material culture; objects and gendered power; women’s writing; gendered patronage and power; gendered activities, behaviours, rituals and fashions.

    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

    Joseph Conrad: the Greatest Living Artist in English Prose [London: T

    Joseph Conrad: The Greatest Living Artist in English Prose [London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1924?] THIS promotional pamphlet advertises works by Conrad published by Unwin. In particular, it promotes Conrad‘s last completed novel The Rover, which was published in late 1923. Given the publication date of The Rover, this pamphlet was probably published in early 1924. On the cover is a drawing of Conrad based upon a photograph taken by Malcolm Arbuthnot. The Rover By Joseph Conrad IN THIS NOVEL Mr. Joseph Conrad has the Mediterranean, as seen from the French south coast, not for a stage, but for a background, in the depth of which the presence of the English blockading fleet is rather felt than seen throughout the course of events which happen on land in a lonely farm-house. The narrative, intimate in character, deals with the crisis in the lives of two women and some men – the Rover being the central figure – and ends at sea in an episode in which the shapes of the blockading ships and the person of Lord Nelson himself are evoked for a moment. The tale, though in no sense historical, attempts to reflect in part at least the spirit of the period 1802–4, with references to an earlier time, after the evacuation of Toulon, when during the savage excesses of the Republican reaction the Heiress of Escampobar, when still almost a child, passed through experiences which had unsettled her mind. 7s. 6d. net T.

    . ., ' : / .'" Review Articles FACT INTO FICTION: CONRAD'S CREATIVE PROCESS Elisabeth Gerver Conrad's Western World. By Norman Sherry. Cambridge University Press, 1971. Pp. xiv, 455. In a little-known letter to the New York Times in 1901, Conrad made ex· plicit the belief in fundamental conflict that underlies all his best fiction: "the only legitimate basis of creative work lies in the courageous recognition of all the irre­ concilable antagonisms that make our life so enigmatic, so burdensome, so fascin­ ating, so dangerous-so full of hope. They exist! And this is the only funda· mental truth of fiction".1 It was this belief in the conflict of values, of men within themselves and with one another, and of political necessities, that led Conrad to create his characteristic, open-ended novels. Conrad's personal life was also marked by conflict, both intellectual and emotional. He held simultaneously, for example, a number of apparently contra­ dictory social and political attitudes: he often expressed the idea of "loneliness [as] .. a hard and absolute condition of existence'? but he believed also in the existence and necessity of human solidarity. His attitudes towards revolutionaries were typical of the complexity and contradictions of his political thought: at one moment he was disturbed by the "menace of fanaticism and intolerance" 3 inherent in revolutionaries, while at another moment he supported the valid struggle and the self-sacrifice of revolutionaries in Spain and Poland. Yet again, while he re­ mained suspicious of any change brought about by revolutions, he insisted on the necessity for a wholly destructive revolution in Russia.

    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. 12 2017, pp. 7–26 doi: 10.4467/20843941YC.17.001.8658 RAFAŁ MARCELI BLÜTH AS A CONRAD SCHOLAR1 Stefan Zabierowski The University of Silesia, Katowice Abstract: The aim of the present article is to present the achievements of Rafał Marceli Blüth (1891-1939) in the fi eld of Conrad scholarship. During the period between the First and Second World Wars, Blüth was a prominent Catholic intellectual and—along with Prof. Józef Ujejski and the well-known writer Maria Dąbrowska—was one of Poland’s foremost Conrad critics. As well as interpreting Conrad’s novels, Blüth researched the writer’s biography, particularly with regard to the role played by family tradition in the Polish eastern borderlands. He also put forward a de- tailed interpretation of the factors which might have infl uenced Conrad’s decision to leave Poland while he was still in his teens. Blüth’s greatest achievements as a literary critic include interpreta- tions of novels such as Victory, The Rover and Nostromo, an attempt to classify the main charac- ters of Conrad’s novels and a study comparing Conrad’s writing and view of the world with those of Dostoevsky. Keywords: Rafał Marceli Blüth, Polish Conrad scholarship between the wars, Joseph Conrad’s biography, Joseph Conrad’s writing, Joseph Conrad’s novels Anyone who has but a cursory knowledge of the history of commentaries on the writing and biography of Joseph Conrad-Korzeniowski in his partitioned homeland can say without a doubt that the fi rst Polish manifestations of interest in Conrad date back to the 1890s.

The quality and the verve of the essays in here (they are all, without exception, beautifully written) is testimony to the rise and the potentials of the new historical approaches to audiences (which has, I am pleased to see, sedimented into some on-going cross-cultural research projects on local film exhibition histories). I recommend this book, unreservedly. Its contributors demonstrate so well the potential for many kinds of archival research to extend our understanding of film reception. In here you will find essays on the reception of the phenomenon of Hollywood, and sometimes of specific films, in contexts as different as a mining town in Australia in the 1920s (Nancy Huggett and Kate Bowles), in and through an upmarket Japanese cinema in the aftermath of Japan's defeat in 1946 (Hiroshi Kitamura), in colonial Northern Rhodesia in the period leading up to independence (Charles Ambler), and in and around the rising nationalist movements in India in the 1920-30s (Priya Jaikumar). It is important, in understanding this book, that we pay attention to the specificities of these contexts.

    JOSEPH CONRAD: a CITIZEN of a GLOBAL WORLD. Review of Maya

    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. 13 2018, pp. 129–134 JOSEPH CONRAD: A CITIZEN OF A GLOBAL WORLD Review of Maya Jasanoff, The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World, Penguin Press 2017, pp. 376, with Index, maps and illustrations Agnieszka Adamowicz-Pośpiech University of Silesia “One day, putting my finger on a spot in the very middle of the then white heart of Africa, I declared that some day I would go there.”1 On the dust jacket one can see a silhouette of a well-built man against the stormy sea (definitely too tall to be Conrad himself), standing on a downward spiral (symbol- izing the downfall of civilization?) and next to it the blurb “enlightening, compas- sionate, superb,” a recommendation by John le Carré—surely, as we shall see, the author of The Tailor of Panama would know what to recommend… but first things first. Nowadays we observe a boom in popularizing biographies that try to bring us closer to the classic writers (e.g. S. Greenblatt’s Will in the World, or A. Sismon’s John le Carré: The Biography). An impressive example of such a book is Maya Jasanoff’s The Dawn Watch which is an expansion of the biographical convention with one major difference. Instead of placing Joseph Conrad in the centre, it locates world history there and views Conrad as “an object of history” so as to “shape his biography from outside in” (10). Maya Jasanoff is Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University who received several prestigious awards for her historical books (the 50th Duff Cooper Prize and the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, among oth- ers).
