Joseph Conrad & Allan Ingram 
Joseph Conrad [PDF ebook] 
Selected Literary Criticism and The Shadow-Line

First Published in 1986. On 22 January 1910, after two years’ work on what he had intended as a break from Chance, Conrad finally finished the manuscript of Under Western Eyes. It had been begun, like many of his novels, as a short story, to be called simply ‘Razumov’, in which he would try ‘to capture the very soul of things Russian’ (Jean-Aubry, 1927, II, p. 64). Some 130, 000 words later, Conrad was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. This is a collection of correspondence, biography and writing on Joseph Conrad’s work.
