“The possibility of this book ten or eleven years ago would have seemed a van Marlean dream. The fact it joins a burgeoning “Conrad Studies” series overseen by Simmons and J. H. Slape and published by Rodopi is magnificent. […] an essential addition to any college or university library. I am delighted to have it on my shelf, and am happier still to know now its use and validity to any reader mad enough to explore stuff about Conrad for longer than an hour and a half.”- David Miller, The Conrad Society, 2009.“No one would gainsay the importance of this work without undermining in Conrad’s scholarship the relevance of these short essays and tributes. Peters illuminates them further with his rather ebullient editorial notations. He uses footnotes masterfully to clarify and extend the tet, especially by identifying the sources the original writers have used and the inter-textual valences of their arguments.”- Jude Chudi Okpala, Joseph Conrad Today XXXV-2, Fall 2010“Thus, with the amalgamation of various elements – from photographic and cinematic scenarios to thought-provoking arguments concerning Conrad’s theme, style and language, and the publicity through pamphlets – the book becomes a smorgasbord of knowledge about Joseph Conrad.”- Umme Salma, Transnational Literature, vol. 4 no 2, May 2012.
