“---In his major phase, he[Conrad] was "ahead of his times" in ideas and techniques;and this was because he was more intelligently and perceptively of his times than most writers then were. In his vigilant response to 19th century preoccupations, he anticipated--often critically--many 20th century preoccupations. He was a versatile intermediary between the Romantic and Victorian traditions and the innovations of Modernism.”

“His life was so picturesque as to resemble romantic fiction, and his rufous, swaggering, radical, patrician figure haunts the literature of the period. He appears as 'Mr. X' in Conrad's The Informer, Mr. Courtier'' in Galsworthy's The Patrician, and as 'Mr. Graham' in Wells's When the Sleeper Wakes; Professor Norman Sherry saw him in Charles Gould in Nostromo, while Professor Molly Mahoud saw him as Etringham Granger of The Inheritors.”
