Joseph Conrad and Material Culture offers a fresh approach to Conrad's work, especially his African fictions, by grounding its discussion in the importance of material culture and its role in shaping the literary art form in modernity.

Society hostess, Clarissa Dalloway is giving a party. Her thoughts and sensations on that one day, and the interior monologues of others whose lives are interwoven with hers gradually reveal the characters of the central protagonists. Clarissa's life is touched by tragedy as the events in her day run parallel to those of Septimus Warren Smith.
