FIONA HOUSTON has a PhD in First World War propaganda from the University of Aberdeen, with a focus on the government-sponsored material written by John Buchan and Ford Madox Ford. Her research attempts to revise current concepts of Great War propaganda and those who wrote it, and she has published work tracking the term “propaganda” throughout the publication history of the Oxford English Dictionary. She currently works as a Production Editor for The Open University.

ALAN PROCTER is an independent scholar. Following a degree in English language and literature in 1958 from the University of Toronto, he engaged for thirty-some years with teenagers and literature in Toronto suburban-school classrooms, and now continues to enjoy the worth of others’ writing.

RICHARD RUPPEL’s primary research interest is the work of Joseph Conrad—he is a past president of the Joseph Conrad Society of America. His most recent monograph, entitled A Political Genealogy of Joseph Conrad, appeared in 2015. His essay on Nostromo and cognition, “History, Cognition and Nostromo: Conrad’s Explorations of Torture, Trauma, and the Human Rage for Order,” is forthcoming in Modern Fiction Studies. He is at work on a book concerned with Conrad and cognition.

ANNALEE (EDMONDSON) SELLERS specializes in British Modernism and narrative and feminist theory and teaches at Whitefield Academy in Mableton, Georgia. Her current research project claims that Joseph Conrad and Virginia Woolf created new forms for the novel in order to stage a specific type of encounter—that of a mind encountering another mind and, after an initial bewilderment, creating a narrative in order to sufficiently account for it.
