Pressestimmen
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)
