Abstract

Under Western Eyes was first published in 1911, and follows Joseph Conrad's remarkable string of work from the turn of the century, including Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, Nostromo, and others. Its most immediate predecessor, The Secret Agent, shares with Under Western Eyes a focus upon espionage.
