In the century since its publication in 1904, Nostromo has taken its place among Conradâs masterpieces as a panoramic novel of revolution and a profound meditation on history and the effects of âmaterial interestsâ on human destiny. The eight new essays brought together in this volume examine the novel from various perspectives: as an epic, as a study in colonialism and the problem of âhomecoming,â as an exploration of free will and determinism, as a textual artefact, and as a reflection upon earlier works of European literature by Coleridge, Pushkin, and others.
