In Writing in Between, Beth Sharon Ash develops an important theoretical framework for interpreting Conrad's signal texts and his situation as an author.

This book carefully positions Conrad as a writer caught 'in between, ' as both a figure of alienation, critically disenchanted with British imperialism, and an orphan of genius desperately desiring a fit with his adopted culture. Through specific, often surprising readings of Conrad's novels and broad analysis of psychoanalytic and modernist criticism, Ash makes a significant theoretical contribution to theories of the subject.
