Abstract

Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo (1904) is widely considered Conrad’s modernist masterpiece. Unique in the history of Conrad’s works, the characters and world of Nostromo are drawn primarily from Conrad’s extensive reading rather than personal experience. The first of Conrad’s major political novels, Nostromo depicts the effects of repeated revolution in a fictional South American state under the growing influence of the United States of America in global economics and politics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
