Although scholarship on Joseph Conrad has been dominated by the Anglo-American academy, The European Reception of Joseph Conrad demonstrates just how broadly scholarly interest in Conrad extends, especially in Europe. This excellent volume is a most welcome addition to Conrad scholarship. * John G. Peters, Distinguished Research Professor, University of North Texas, USA * This collection brims with surprises. Describing translations, reviews, debates, and artistic responses to Conrad's work, its contributors excel in the variety of their approaches and their alertness to the contrasting rhythms of scepticism and admiration from country to country. * Laurence Davies, Visiting Senior Research Fellow, Kings College London, UK *
