The co-winner of 2022 Adam Gillon Book Award in Conrad Studies, Conrad and Nature is the first collection of critical essays examining nature and the environment in Joseph Conrads writings. Together, these essays by established and emerging scholars reveal both the crucial importance of nature in Conrads work, and the vital, ongoing relevance of Conrads treatment of the environment in our era of globalization and climate change. No richer subject matter for an environmentally-engaged criticism can be found than the Conradian contexts and themes under investigation in this volume: island cultures, colonial occupations, storms at sea, mining and extraction, inconstant weather, ecological collapse, and human communities competing for resources. The 17 essays collected here 13 new essays, and 4 excerpts from classic works of Conradian scholarship -- consolidate some of the most important voices and perspectives on Conrads relation to the natural world, and open new avenues for Conradian and environmental scholarship in the 21st century.

Conrad and Nature: Essays is the Co-Winner of the Joseph Conrad Society of Americas prestigious Adam Gillon Book Award in Conrad Studies for books published 2018, 2019, and 2020.

"As a volume, it will be enormously useful to Conrad scholars, scholars of empire and postcolonial studies, and scholars of nineteenth-century environments ranging from the wilderness to the sea, to the exhausted guano mines of remote Peruvian islands."

--Elizabeth Carolyn Miller, University of California, Davis
