Joseph Conrad is widely recognized as one of the greatest writers of the early twentieth century. Robert Hampson traces Conrads life from his childhood in a Russian penal colony, through his early manhood in Marseille and his years in the British Merchant Navy, to his career as a novelist. This critical biography describes how these experiences inspired Conrads work, from his early Malay novels to his best-known work, Heart of Darkness. Hampson also discusses Conrads important relations with other writers, in particular Ford Madox Ford, as well as his late-life political engagements and his relationships with women. Featuring new interpretations of all of Conrads major works, this is an original interpretation of Conrads life of writing.About author(s):Robert Hampson is a research fellow at the University of Londons Institute for English Studies. He is the chair of the UK Joseph Conrad Society and the author of three monographs on Conrad.
