This book finds pockets of powerful anti-colonial resistance and queer dissonance in Joseph Conrad's lesser-known works - breathing spaces from the colonial rhetoric that dominates his novels - and traces the female characters who voice them off the page and into their transmedia (digital\/illustrative\/cinematic) afterlives. From Immada and Edith's queer gaze in \u003ci\u003eThe Rescue \u003c\/i\u003eand the periodical \u003cbr\u003eillustrations that accompanied its initial serialization, to Aïssa's sustained critique of imperialism in \u003ci\u003eAn Outcast of the Islands \u003c\/i\u003eand her portrayal on mass-market paperback book covers, to the structural female bonds of \u003ci\u003eAlmayer's Folly\u003c\/i\u003e and Nina's embodiment in Chantal Akerman's adaptation \u003ci\u003eLa Folie Almayer\u003c\/i\u003e, this book centres Conrad's female characters as viable, meaning-making citizens of the canon. Through this intervention, \u003ci\u003eDecolonising the Conrad Canon \u003c\/i\u003eproposes an innovative model for teaching, reading and studying not just Joseph Conrad's work but the colonial literary canon more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice M.
