Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)Joseph Conrad was born in Poland, spent much of his childhood in Russian exile with his parents, wasorphaned at an early age and reared by an uncle, lived as a young man in France, and then, after a careerwith the British merchant marine, became one of the major writers in English literature.

Biographical information taken from Magill's Survey of World Literature, Rev. ed. (January 2009). Additionalbiographical information can be found in standard print and online sources.

Scope and ContentsThe Joseph Conrad Collection contains writings, correspondence, and other material by or relating toJoseph Conrad. The first group of material, bound or housed in slipcases, consists chiefly of drafts ofwritings by Conrad and autograph letters, signed, from Conrad to others. Most of the bindings and casesappear to have been made for the collector George T. Keating, who donated his Conrad collection to theYale University Library in 1938. The writings in this group include autograph manuscript and typescriptdrafts to numerous shorter works and sections, such as "Author's Notes" and chapters of longer works.However, there are also substantial drafts, typescript, corrected, of The Arrow of Gold (1919),  Nostromo(1904), and other titles. Bound correspondence features volumes of letters to Conrad's wife, and his friend,translator, and biographer, G. Jean-Aubry.

Other "loose" papers are subdivided into four groups: writings, correspondence, papers relating to Conrad,and photographs. Writings here include drafts of shorter works and sections to longer works, severalFrench language translations, and the original autograph manuscript, corrected, of Conrad's novel, TheHeart of Darkness (1899). There are separate, alphabetized runs of outgoing and incoming correspondence,with many files for English literary figures, including authors, critics, editors, and publishers, dating intothe first three decades of the twentieth century. Correspondents include Arnold Bennett, Muirhead Bone,

Ford Madox Ford, John Galsworthy, Edward Garnett, G. Jean-Aubry, Archibald Marshall, Humphrey SumnerMilford, Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, Frank Swinnerton, and Hugh Walpole, among others.

The papers relating to Conrad consist chiefly of third-party correspondence and writings by others on orabout Conrad. The largest file relates to G. Jean-Aubry and his work on Conrad. These materials includetranslations of writings by Conrad, biographical and bibliographical information relating to Conrad,correspondence, and printed and other material, such as clippings and ephemera. There are also manythird-party letters from others to Jean-Aubry.

Typed transcriptions can be found in the collection for some writings and correspondence. When there areonly transcriptions present in a file, this fact is noted (e.g. "copy") in the file-level description.
