<p>... and, of course, Woolf described the Polish Conrad as "our
guest" and "a better writer than the rest of us put together"... I
have a few pages on Woolf's reading of Conrad in relation to The
Voyage Out in <i>VW and the Bloomsbury Avant-Garde</i> (and some
on Conrad and The Waves in a forthcoming piece); the Lord Jim =}
Jacob connection seems intriguing; do you find close textual
echoes?</p>

<p>I've often wondered to what extent a more general influence of
<i>Lord Jim</i> can be traced in <i>Jacob's Room</i> - all the
stuff about Marlow never seeing Jim clearly, that he is observed
through a mist, and so on. In like manner the reader sees Jacob
doing and saying all sorts of things, but ends up with a sense
of his unknowability. In both cases, intimacy is denied.</p>
