Summary

Homoeroticism and Homosexuality in the Life and Fiction of Joseph Conrad examines the representations of homosexuality and homoeroticism in Conrad's fiction. Drawing on the work of Geoffrey Galt Harpham, Robert Hodges, Wayne Koestenbaum, Christopher Lane, and others who have already begun unearthing and analyzing this subject, the author traces Conrad's representations of homosexuality and homoeroticism, beginning with the Malay works and ending with The Shadow Line. In Conrad's lifetime, the homosexual species came under increasing scrutiny, definition, and censure; same-sex desire was an increasingly contested issue within popular, legal, and medical discourses. Conrad's fiction traces this interest, though most often in subterranean ways.
