Description: A freshly researched chronology designed to provide a clear and compact digest of Conrad's fascinating life as it developed from year to year. It's form - that of a series of diary or chronicle entries - caters for the reader who may wish to check quickly a single fact or find in answer to questions of "Where, when, and with whom?" The main emphasis falls upon the unfolding course of a literary life spanning the years 1895 to 1924 - its interacting and cumulative stresses, the history of composition and publication, the author's prodigious reading, and the significant friendships within the Conrad circle.
