Presentation Transcript

    1. Joseph Conrad, Victorian Imperialism, and the Onset of Modernism The son of Polish patriot turned merchant seaman turned writer was henceforth—after twenty years at sea—an English novelist. In his travels through Asian, African, and Caribbean landscapes that eventually worked their way into his fiction, Conrad witnessed at close range the workings of European Empires, including the British, French, Belgian, Dutch, and German, that at the time controlled most of the earth’s surface and were extracting from it vast quantities of raw materials and profiting from forced or cheap labor. (NA 1885-86)
