Conrad and impressionism

"John Peters investigates the impact of impressionism on Conrad and links this to his literary techniques as well as his philosophical and political views. Impressionism, Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth not only in visually percieved phenomena but also in his narratives and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human subjects, events, or ideas. 'Conrad and Impressionism' investigates the sources and implications of Conrad's impressionism in order to argue for a consistent link among his literary technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views" -- Promotionary literature.
