Joseph Conrad
This bibliography, the first volume in the new Conrad Studies series published in cooperation with The Joseph Conrad Society (UK), collects and annotates impressions and memories of Joseph Conrad by his family, friends, and acquaintances.

An essential tool for the scholar, this book can also be read with pleasure for the light it throws on Conrad the man.
