Part of a series which introduces the reader to the life and works of selected writers, this study concentrates on Joseph Conrad. It traces the roots of contradiction in his personality between authority and rebellion and his work's interwoven themes of "solidarity" and "secrecy". Studies of "Heart of Darkness", "The Secret Agent" and "The Nigger of the Narcissus" discuss Conrad's troubled confrontation with crucial issues of his age such as colonialism, modern urban life and the meaning of work as well as his innovations in style that make him a major influence on twentieth century literature.
