{"product_id":"joseph-conrad-and-the-arts-of-his-time-9781399523714","title":"Joseph Conrad and the Arts of His Time","description":"This volume is the product of new research on Conrad's engagement with the arts during his lifetime. Beginning with nineteenth-century Polish landscape painting and Polish theatre, the essays move through music and the performing arts during Conrad's time in Marseilles; the opera Conrad encountered in Australia; and Conrad's later-life knowledge of recent and contemporary classical music. Subsequent essays demonstrate his familiarity with contemporary visual art (particularly through his friendships with various artists in London); his interest in dance; and his active involvement in contemporary theatre and screen-writing. The volume concludes with a discussion of Conrad's art as a novelist and playwright, his 'theatrical imagination', in relation to developments in theatre theory of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHampson, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Robert Hampson is Professor of English at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
