- W2062813872 abstract "Conrad’s novels about politics have been viewed both as nihilistic statements and dramatisations of a political vision. While the subject of these novels—Nostromo, The Secret Agent, and Under Western Eyes—is often politics, their values are not political. The novels affirm the primacy of family, the sanctity of the individual, the value of love, and the importance of sympathy and understanding in human relations. Conrad’s friendships with Cunninghame Graham, Wells, and Shaw show that he put personal relationships before political ideology. His concern for the working class derives not from political theory but from his experience as a seaman and from his imaginative response to the miseries of others. Conrad’s humanism informs his political vision. In his political writings, it is the abstractions upholding private virtues that carry conviction. He wrote in ‘Autocracy and War’ (1905) that it was to ‘our sympathetic imagination’ that we must ‘look for the ultimate triumph of concord and justice’ (NLL, p. 84). In ‘Autocracy and War’ the paramount values threatened by Russian autocracy are ‘dignity’, ‘truth’, ‘rectitude’, and ‘all that is faithful in human nature’ (NLL, p. 99). Thus, Russia is ‘a yawning chasm open between East and West; a bottomless abyss that has swallowed up every hope of mercy, every aspiration towards personal dignity, towards freedom, towards knowledge, every ennobling desire of the heart, every redeeming whisper of conscience’ (NLL, p. 100)." @default.
