Gene M. Moore is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Amsterdam.

"A clearly written, well documented, and informative account."--Politics and Religion

"Moore has assembled something new and valuable, deliberately avoiding some of the usually anthologized material while pushing the boundaries of critical commentary.... Not only are all of the selected works provocative and substantive in their own way, each inviting us to reconsider the text's contexts and our own assumptions, so too the collection as a whole--by juxtaposing historical tidbit and serious study, theoretical meditation and comic relief--brims with a life which will gratify the hungry curiosity of the general reader and prompt the more reticent student to exclaim, 'Cool!'"--Joseph Conrad Today

"[Moore] offers a casebook that contains judiciously selected contextualizing materials, a range of critical approaches to Conrad, and materials not readily available in other competing texts. Above all, the collection is very readable and will be accessible to a wide audience.... It offers useful teaching materials for the college classroom; and it provides advanced students and scholars of Conrad with new materials that have only recently come to light. It is a most welcome volume."--English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
