Decolonising the Conrad CanonAuthor(s): Alice M. Kelly\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Liverpool University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Liverpool University Press\nISBN-13: 9781800856462, 978-1800856462\nSynopsis\nWith the pressing work of decolonising our reading lists gaining traction in UK higher educational contexts, Decolonising the Conrad Canon shows how those author-Gods most associated with the colonial literary canon can also be retooled through decolonial, queer, feminist readings. This book finds pockets of powerful anti-colonial resistance and queer dissonance in Joseph Conrads lesser-known works breathing spaces from the colonial rhetoric that dominates his novels and traces the female characters who voice them off the page and into their transmedia (digital/illustrative/cinematic) afterlives. From Immada and Ediths queer gaze in The Rescue and the periodical\nillustrations that accompanied its initial serialization, to Assas sustained critique of imperialism in An O.
