Biography
Richard J. Ruppel, chair of the English department at Chapman University, earned BA, Masters, and PhD degrees at Michigan, Duke, and UNC Chapel Hill. He has published essays and given a number of papers on Joseph Conrad, focusing primarily on colonialism and representations of male intimacy. He co-edited Imperial Desire: Dissident Sexualities and Colonial Literature (Minnesota Press, 2003).
Ruppel has produced some thought-provoking assertions concerning homosexuality in Conrad's works. -- Linda Dryden, English Literature in Transition
