The Society is devoted to the study of all aspects of the writings and life of Joseph Conrad. Our aim is to provide a forum and resource for Conrad scholars throughout the world and those with a strong interest in things "Conradian." Founded in 1973, The Joseph Conrad Society (UK) has, from small beginnings, grown into a learned society with an international outreach and perspective. We publish the premier Conrad journal, The Conradian, appearing twice annually, hold an annual international conference in the early summer, award an annual essay prize, and promote the study of Conrad by offering, when possible, resources and support to scholars without or with limited access to university or other sources of funding.
