Conrad and F. transformed English prose as Flaubert transformed French; they evolved "a kind of unwritten manifesto of the 'New Novel,'" the technique of progression d'effet. The opening paragraph must contain "the basic rhythm" of the novel (discusses ROMANCE). F. influenced Conrad in technique of "refraction of chronological time sequences." [HEG] Knoll, Robert E.
