d4doome<p>Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent from 1907 is an important milestone in the development of the spy novel. It's the beginning of the pessimistic, sordid, cynical school of spy fiction. A study in the psychology of espionage, and of betrayal.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://vintagepopfictions.blogspot.com/2019/10/joseph-conrads-secret-agent.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">vintagepopfictions.blogspot.co</span><span class="invisible">m/2019/10/joseph-conrads-secret-agent.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spynovel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spynovel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spynovels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spynovels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/vintagethriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagethriller</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/vintagethrillers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagethrillers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spythriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spythriller</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/spythrillers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spythrillers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/JosephConrad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JosephConrad</span></a></p>
Jonathan Emmesedi<p>I've been reading Joseph Conrad recently. </p><p>I completely understand why the offensive racial epithet in the original title of the novel published in the USA as "Children of the Sea" had to go.</p><p>Unfortunately, that offensive epithet is used throughout the work, sometimes ventriloquised, sometimes not. It cannot simply be excised from the text. </p><p>As a consequence, "Children of the Sea" is probably impossible to assign to students and difficult to discuss in depth elsewhere.</p><p>I would not be surprised therefore if the work slips into oblivion. Such obscurity would be a loss, since Conrad touches on important themes concerning masculinity, solidarity in the face of a hostile nature, and - yes - race. The novel also reveals something about Conrad's political leanings. In addition, Conrad wrote some magnificently evocative prose in his account of the voyage of the Narcissus.</p><p>Please don't read this post as an attack on "wokery" or "snowflakes". Sometimes quashing the circulation of hateful racist language matters more than literary discussion, so I would not want to struggle to prevent this book sliding off the syllabus.</p><p> Yet, as so often is the case, the right decision is not cost free; we are losing something important as we lose sight of "Children of the Sea". </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/JosephConrad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JosephConrad</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ChildrenOfTheSea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChildrenOfTheSea</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Narcissus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Narcissus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Racism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MoralDilemmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoralDilemmas</span></a></p><p>Image -- CBN Polona via Picryl.com -- Public domain</p>
