Published in 1900, Conrad’s Lord Jim can in many ways be seen as the first ‘modern’ novel. This important full study of the book, originally published in 1988, emphasizes the outstanding historical and artistic significance of Conrad’s masterpiece. John Batchelor pursues the ways in which Conrad dramatizes with unprecedented fidelity a relationship between friends and also explores what for Conrad is clearly a central truth about the human condition, namely the inalienable loneliness of man. The book provides a full discussion of the biographical and literary contexts of the novel, making use of the original manuscript and tracing the literary influences and sources of Conrad’s writing. It also considers the novel’s technical innovations, including Conrad’s ‘impressionism’ and its method of dramatization. Further chapters are devoted to a detailed commentary on the text and the book concludes with a study of the novel’s critical reception since its first publication. This volume will be essential reading for all students of literature and particularly for those with an interest in Conrad’s place in the development of modern fiction.

Jim is young, ambitious and idealistic, keen to make his name in the world. But fate has other plans. Jim has been made First Mate on board the Patna, but when the she starts to flood in the middle of the voyage, Jim joins the captain and crew in abandoning the ship and her passengers to their fate. The ship survives, but Jim is stripped of his rank for dereliction of duty, and realises how far short he has fallen of his dreams of becoming a leader and a hero. The narrative, voiced by sea captain Charles Marlow (also the narrator of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness), follows Jim as he tries to redeem himself. As he travels ever further eastwards, Jim ends up on a remote Indonesian island where his name and reputation mean nothing. Finally it seems that he can start afresh, and after defeating a local bandit he wins the admiration of the local people (and a beautiful girl), and becomes their leader: ‘Lord Jim’. However, his past is always there… Partly based on true events, this is a compelling and vivid story, and Conrad’s telling of it asks us to judge for ourselves what we think of Jim. This beautifully-produced classic edition also includes a Foreword by explorer and Discovery Channel star Ed Stafford (the first man to walk the length of the Amazon river) and a reading guide.
