Joseph Conrad: A Biography Sir Hugh Walpole

To any reader of the books of Joseph Conrad it must be at once plain that his immediate experiences and im- pressions of life have gone very directly to the making of his art. It may happen often enough that an author"s artistic life is of no importance to the critic and that his dealing with it is merely a personal impertinence and curiosity, but with the life of Joseph Conrad the critic has something to do, because, again and again, this writer deliberately evokes the power of personal reminiscence, charging it with the burden of his philosophy and the creation of his characters.
