Beginning from the polemical poetics of his 1897 preface, Debra Romanick Baldwin focuses on Conrad's distinctively poetic \"inward\" approach to truth - an inwardness that is found in lived experience, in language, and in the world beyond the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book traces Conrad's poetic voice from the rhetoric of his private letters to the narrative techniques of his fiction and finally to his explicit engagement with abstract approaches to truth. Baldwin applies narrative and rhetorical analysis to Conrad's private correspondence, showing how he encouraged fellow writers - John Galsworthy, F. Warrington Dawson, R.B. Cunninghame Graham, Ted Sanderson, and Edward Noble - to engage with the inwardness of their own experience. The book explores how Conrad crafted moments of narrative solidarity in his fictional narratives to evoke the experience of the inwardness of another, while also considering his explicit polemics against abstract approaches to truth-seeking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMindful of the colonial, late Victorian, Polish Romantic, and cosmopolitan contexts in which Conrad wrote, \u003cem\u003eThe Inwardness of Things\u003c\/em\u003e nevertheless situates him in a broader human conversation that he himself invited and argues for the enduring value of his art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebra Romanick Baldwin\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of English at the University of Dallas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45466276986959,"sku":"9781487558055","price":152.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/q8J0vAmcpA9781487558055.webp?v=1780624481","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/the-inwardness-of-things-hardcover","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
