Zusatztext " Our Conrad is one of the most stimulating works of scholarship I have read in some time. Mallios weaves his tale masterfully and convinces me that Conrad-in-America was much more significant than I had realized-that the reception of Conrad in America says as much about America as it does about Conrad. Our Conrad will be embraced by scholars in English and American literature and American history! as well as readers outside academia who want to understand the connection of America with the rest of the world during the early twentieth century."
