This freshly revised and enlarged second edition of A Conrad Chronology is designed to provide a clear and compact digest of Conrad's life as it developed from year to year. Its 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 an answer to questions of 'Where, when and with whom?' The main emphasis falls upon the unfolding course of a literary life spanning the years 1894 to 1924 - its interacting and cumulative pressures, the history of composition and publication, the author's prodigious reading, and the significant friendships within the Conrad circle. With its up-to-date detail and varied indexes, this chronology will be an indispensable reference work for researchers, while students new to Conrad will find an integrated portrait of a unique literary career, with its significant phases, routines and landmarks.
