Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857–1924) was a Polish-born British novelist, who became a British subject in 1886.

Joseph Conrad was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature. While some of his works have a strain of romanticism, he is viewed as a precursor of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors.
