...A rejoinder
"Turned inward on Conrad himself, these lenses become microscopes, revealing the secret biographical sources for his characters and plots. Turned outward, they are telescopes scanning the horizons of Conrad’s widely travelled world, demonstrating a critical political awareness that, Jasanoff argues, anticipated many of the challenges of our modern world, including terrorism, migration, globalisation, American imperialism, brute Russian autocracy and runaway technological change."
American imperialism? Really? Hmmm.
