Explanation and Analysis:

Lord Jim is a modernist novel that plays with the conventions and tropes of romantic adventure novels. Modernism as a literary movement emerged in the early 20th century as writers began to challenge certain literary conventions, such as centering stories on likable, heroic characters and organizing novels chronologically. Conrad is considered to be one of the first modernist writers and, as such, his work contains remnants of the Romantic style while also incorporating some new elements of experimentation.
