Joseph Conrad and the readerquestioning modern theories of narrative and readership /[electronic resource] :Amar Acheraiou. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,c2009. - x, 233 p. ;22 cm.

Conrad's Conception of Authorship: Probing the Implications and Limits of the Death-of-the-author Theory -- Polish Responses: Art and the Ethics of Collectivity -- British Reception: Englishness and the Act of Reading -- Conrad's Visual Aesthetics: Classical and Modern Connections-- A Cartography of Conrad's Fictional Readers: Reading Hierarchy in Lord Jim, 'Heart of Darkness', Nostromo andVictory -- Narrative Solidarity and Competition for Truth and Signification -- Conrad and the Construction of the Reader: Tension between Democratic Vision and Aristocratic Leaning -- Narrative Self-Consciousness and the Act of Reading: Examining Under Western Eyes through the Lens of Fielding's, Sterne's and Diderot's Poetics.

Conrad and the Reader is the first monograph fully devoted to JosephConrad's relation to the reader, visual theory, and authorship. This challenging study proposes new avenues to modern literary criticism. Through sharp textual analyses and original comparative approaches, it highlights the theoretical and empirical limits of deconstructionist theories: death-of-the-author, text as an absolute semiotic sign, and readeras a hegemonic interpretative agency. In the process, it introduces several cutting-edge theoretical concepts: the text as a tripartite transaction; the notion of subliminal readers; para-fictional readers; authorial dissemination; and reading as an act of solidarity. This book examines Conrad's ethics of readership and visuality in the light of modernexperimentalist writers like Fielding, Sterne, Diderot, and Flaubert, as well as in relation to ancient theories of narrative formulated by Aristotle, Plato, Horace, Quintilian, Cicero, and Plutarch.
