This study aims to trace Conrad's literary career in the context of
his life, his times and his intellectual background, thus providing
the reader with an historical basis for his works. A chronological
table is followed by a concise biographical survey which pays
particular attention to the financing of Conrad's odyssey through
the world. Illustrations of his cultural milieu and of his ability
to create a literary identity are then examined. Finally, the
author follows Conrad's career as a writer from the early days of
struggle to the late days of popular success, emphasizing the
material circumstances of his literary production. A general point
made is that when his career is considered historically, emphasis
falls less on Conrad as the author of "canonical texts" for
academic study than on Conrad as communicator - a writer who, in
the burgeoning era of mass communications, was able to address his
public on both sides of the Atlantic through popular magazines and
newspapers as well as through pages of volumes.
