About the author

Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole was an English novelist. A prolific writer, he published thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two plays and three volumes of memoirs. His skill at scene-setting, his vivid plots, his high profile as a lecturer and his driving ambition brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. A best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s, his works have been neglected since his death.

This is an overview of Conrad's writing. If you haven't read a number of his works these essays will probably not be very rewarding. Author makes some keen obervations on Conrad's prose styles and the influence of French, his second language.
