Joseph Conrad Time Period and Works

Joseph Conrad lived in the late 1800's and early 1900's. He had a primarily romantic style that influenced many authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. He was a well reknowned novelist that had many works like Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim, and Nostromo. All of these novels have a common strain of depressxion and self doubt. This is extremely apparent in Heart of Darkness where there is very little imagery that is not related to some sort of sadness or evil. These themes transcend most of his novels that have all added to Conrad's illustrious career.
