The book studies Conrad’s mostly unconscious psychological promptings behind his adopted method of treatment of themes, at one stage one kind and at another stage another different kind, with the corresponding changes in his stylistic pattern. All these variations are found to conform to a well-related system in the author’s discernments arranged in four parts and nineteen chapters.
