  Part of the Modern Fiction series, which is a series of introductory studies on the chief writers and movements in the history of 20th-century fiction in English. This is a study on Joseph Conrad. Each volume is written by an expert in the field and offers a reading of the writer's work in the light of recent scholarship and criticism, but always with the needs of the student and general reader in mind. It provides biographical information, consideration of the writer's relationship to the social, intellectual, and cultural life of their times, and detailed readings of selected texts. The series includes short-story writers as well as novelists, contemporaries as well as classic moderns and their successors, Commonwealth writers as well as British and American; and there are volumes on themes and groups as well as on individual figures.
