Drawing on recent studies on life writing, memory, the narrative turn,
and psychology, Conrad, Autobiographical Remembering, and the Making
of Narrative Identity is the first major work that extensively
explores the dynamic interplay between Conrad’s autobiographical
remembering and storytelling in relation to his identity construction
within a historical and cultural context. This unique perspective
makes the book particularly attractive for students, teachers, and
researchers of Conrad. Contrary to the prevalent
"achievement-and-decline" paradigm that implies a decline in quality
of Conrad’s works in his later period, this volume contends that
Conrad’s later works continue to engage with the complex questions
of memory, identity, and culture, demonstrating a sustained commitment
to exploring the intricacies of the human experiences. Essential
reading for Conrad enthusiasts, but also for those who seek to explore
how memory studies in literature intersect with psychology,
philosophy, and cultural studies.
