Joseph Conrad
-
Standard Name: Conrad, Joseph
Joseph Conrad
's publishing career spans a little over the first quarter of the twentieth century. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography judges him to be one of the greatest fiction-writers—and probably the greatest political novelist—in English, a language which he had learned as a non-native speaker. Female characters in his work are a generally peripheral minority.
