‘New books on Conrad appear with such regularity that one wonders if there is anything new to say on the author, but in Decolonising the Conrad Canon, Alice M.

This volume offers refreshing and challenging new readings of Conrad’s Malay fiction within a stimulating and compelling re-evaluation of women and gender in these novels.’ Linda Dryden, Professor of English Literature, Edinburgh Napier University
