Joseph Conrad's Polish background, his extensive travels and his
detached view of his adopted country, Britain, gave him a
perspective unique among English writers of the twentieth century.
Combining Continental and British influences, Victorian and
Modernist styles, he was an artist acutely responsive to his age,
whose works reflect and chronicle its shaping forces. This volume
examines the biographical, historical, cultural and political
contexts that fashioned his works. Written by a specialist, each
short chapter covers a specific theme in relation to Conrad's life
and work: letters, Modernism, the sea, the Polish and French
languages, the First World War, and many other topics. This book
will appeal to scholars as well as to those beginning their study
of this extraordinary writer. It shows how this combination of
different contexts allowed Conrad to become a key transitional
figure in the early emergence of British literary modernism.
