Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
Addresses the changing geographical and historical background to Conrad?s life as a source for his developing artistic vision.
MoreLong 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.
