Joseph Conrad - Encounters with Polish Literature - S2E6

Joseph Conrad with George Gasyna (University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign)
In this episode we ask why we might want to know about the Polish Conrad, and not just sequester that part of his biography as his forgotten youth. We look at some of Joseph Conrad’s Polish works, such as his only work of fiction set in Poland, “Prince Roman,” the story of a Polish castaway in England, “Amy Foster,” and his late memoir, “Poland Revisited,” and we ask what these works reveal about Conrad’s mature works, such as Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and especially Nostromo.
Encounters with Polish Literature is a video series for anyone interested in literature and the culture of books and reading. Each month, host David A. Goldfarb presents a new topic in conversation with an expert on that author or book or movement in Polish literature.
