Conrad and Nature is the first collection of critical essays examining nature and the environment in Joseph Conrad's writings. These essays reveal the crucial importance of nature in Conrad's work, and the vital, ongoing relevance of Conrad's treatment of the environment in our era of globalization and climate change. "Joseph Conrad is a corner-stone for understanding modern literature and the human condition, and Conrad and Nature: Essays, both dramatically reshapes our understanding of his work in his contemporary world, and his legacy and importance in ours." -- David Mulry, College of Coastal Georgia
