I'm reading Lord Jim right now and I've read commentary that says Conrad was for or against imperialism.

Anyone have any opinions on this author?

I have only read Heart of Darkness so excuse my ignorance of Conrad in advance.

I think he questions and scrutinises imperialism as well as race, but HoD doesn't completely convince me he is a vehement anti-imperialist altogether.
