- W3135560168 abstract "Joseph famous Preface to his third novel, The Nigger of “Narcissus”, is probably most discussed of his non-fictional writings. Much Conrad criticism has long been divided over whether Preface's terms of seeing and visibility deserve emphasis which they have sometimes been given in reading fiction, and whether this early, bold outline of a kind of aesthetic theory (the closest we come to such in Conrad), is even applicable to what he achieved in his major works. Such arguments, surprisingly, seem to ignore fact that Conrad was a writer for whom it became increasingly necessary, as his vision took shape, to render justice to invisible. It is my contention here, however, that this interest in invisibility may be detected already in Preface's oft-cited passages, couched in terms which parallel those of more strictly theoretical accounts given by Romanticism, Idealism, Postmodernism and other isms,” which, while anathema to Conrad, align with his individual artistic credo. In Preface, Conrad writes, may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render highest kind of justice to visible universe, by bringing to light truth, manifold and one, its every aspect. The stated premise that is something which can be brought to light by art is one which implies that this truth is not an immediately apparent aspect of visible universe, but something which must be uncovered from beneath its changing phenomena. Conrad suggests that truth is a hidden dimension of reality, whose visible phenomena constitute a surface which must be penetrated in order to bring this hidden dimension to human awareness. Considerable critical attention has been given to nature and definition of in celebrated Preface. Ian Watt reads Preface as differentiating artist's concern with the contemplation of general and enduring nature of human experience from practical and contingent truths. J. Hillis Miller writes that Conrad's truth is exact opposite of precise images and events. If truth is something underlying or inward and opposite of visible, of aspects of matter and facts of life,” for Conrad this truth is something which is also inseparable from visible." @default.
