Scholars of English literature offer insights into Conrad's 1914 novel Chance, the first to attract large scale public attention to match the esteem in which professionals had long held him. Their topics include the ethics of work, intertextualities, Chance and Woolf's The Voyage Out, representations of readers and reading, from incapable "angel in the house" to invincible "new woman" in Marlovian narratives: representing womanhood in "Heart of Darkness" and Chance, the narrative problem of Marlow, and Conrad's portrait of a feminist.
