Conrad’s Malaysian Fiction by Florence Clemens

The relationship between Conrad's Malay fiction and colonialism is a prominent subject of commentary now, and has been for some time. Most scholars would point to Chinua Achebe's important article An Image of Africa as the initiation into the interest in Conrad and colonialism, but if fact decades previously, Florence Clemens had begun this conversation in her ground-breaking commentary on Conrad's Malay fiction. At the time Florence Clemens was writing, almost nothing had been written on the Conrad's colonial world, and for many years her work thus was relatively unknown and relatively difficult to obtain. However, Clemens' work is significant, and its appearance in Brill's Conrad Studies series now makes this important study readily available to scholars.
Gene M. Moore (B.A. Yale University 1969, Ph.D. University of Texas, 1978) is now retired from the University of Amsterdam. He co-authored The Oxford Reader’s Companion to Conrad and has edited Conrad’s letters and Suspense for the Cambridge edition.

John G. Peters, a University Distinguished Research Professor at the University of North Texas, is General Editor of Conradiana. He is author of Conrad and Impressionism, The Cambridge Introduction to Joseph Conrad, and Joseph Conrad’s Critical Reception.
