DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoseph Conrad\, an influential voice in Modern literature\,
  was an untethered soul. Emigrating from Poland to England as a teenager\,
  he travelled the oceans for many years as a sailor before settling in Lon
 don to write.\n\nIn a lecture based on her award-winning book\, The Dawn W
 atch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World\, Professor Maya Jasanoff will prese
 nt Conrad as a prophet of globalization. Jasanoff will explore how Conrad 
 was deeply influenced by the dawn of the twentieth century — the tensions 
 of global capitalism\, encroaching imperialism and unprecedented migration
  which still characterize our global world.\n\nA beacon of globalization\,
  worlds intersect in Conrad’s life and writing. Professor Jasanoff followe
 d in the footsteps of this prolific writer\, journeying from East Asia to 
 Europe on a cargo ship\, and sailing 1\,000 miles down the Congo River. Th
 is distinct experience flavors the pages of The Dawn Watch\, much as Conra
 d's work is imbued with the familiar worlds of his travels.\n\nPart travel
 ogue\, part literary criticism\, part history — this innovative work ackno
 wledges the story in history\, and enriches the history of Conrad's storie
 s.\n\nFor more information: https://www.cundillprize.com/the-cundill-lectu
