| book description |

In September 2000, the ""Oxford Reader's Companion to Dickens"" was published. Following that, editions dedicated to Hardy, Trollope, Conrad, and George Eliot will follow suit. In this format these books are designed specifically to appeal to students of literature.

This book discusses: Conrad's life - his health, Polish inheritance, the sea, ships and voyages; novels; characters; reputation; influences on other writers; translations; and the historical context. In addition to the A-Z entries the Companion offers extra material: a classified contents list with headwords grouped in thematic batches, Conrad's family tree, a chronology spanning Conrad's life, maps showing Conrad's travels, an index of references to
