Through attention to incidents of betrayal and self-betrayal in his fiction, this book traces the development of Conrad's conception of identity through the three phases of his career: the self in isolation, the self in society and the sexualised self. It shows how the early fiction negotiates the opposed dangers of the self-ideal and the surrender to passion, how the middle fiction tests the ideal code psychologically and ideologically, and how the late fiction probes sexuality and morbid psychology.
