Under Conrad's Eyes: The Novel as Criticism by Michael John DiSanto is the co-winner of the Adam Gillon Book Award in Conrad Studies.
"Michael John DiSanto’s Under
Conrad’s Eyes: The Novel as Criticism explores the roots of Conrad's
writing, especially in nineteenth-century thought. Here DiSanto focuses on
Conrad’s reading, examining among his predecessors specifically Carlyle,
Dickens, George Eliot, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche and analyzing the manner in
which Conrad's reading of their texts is evidenced in his fictions both as
continuation and as argument. The complexity of Conrad's thought, DiSanto
argues, 'is rooted in his knowledge of these writers.' In closely examining
this relationship, this study also demonstrates how Conrad’s art itself ‘offers
a reassessment of their work.' DiSanto's book makes a strong contribution to
Conrad studies." Adam Gillon Award jury member.
