This essay will revolve around the critical reception of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The focus will be on three primary sources: firstly, the early critical reception and how the novella was received when it was originally published in 1902, secondly, Chinua's famous critique in 1977 when he called Conrad a racist and condemned both the author and the novella, and thirdly, Said's defence and contextualization of Conrad’s novella in 1992. The essay will explore how the critics have been influenced and from what standpoints they have entered into the debate on Conrad and show how the disc

Much work has been done on the relationship between fin de siècle authors H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Stephen Crane, and Ford Madox Ford.

While scholars have stressed the collaboration between Conrad and Ford and the disagreements between Wells and James, fewer have treated the relationship of Wells and Conrad. Their most widely read works, The Time Machine and Heart of Darkness, share remarkable similarities that reveal common topical influences on bo

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes H. G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau and Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness within the context of nineteenth-century evolutionary theory. I explore how Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley used evolution by natural selection to develop differing explanations of the origins of ethics and how this impacted the place each scientist gave morality in civilization. By exploring how Huxley and Darwin understood morality to derive from the phenomena of sympathy and restrain, I illustrate how Wells’s and Conrad’s novellas interrogate these discourses of altruism.

Abstract:
This study examines the significance of sounds and silence in Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness (1902). The importance of visual effects has repeatedly been analyzed and therefore, it is high time to explore the text from an auditory perspective. By comparing and contrasting Victorian city sounds to sounds in the wilderness, I show that the urban and rural worlds have a great deal in common. Furthermore, by deconstructing the seemingly stable binary opposition of sound and silence as well as that of civilization and wilderness, it becomes evident that they are related and depend on one

Considering the fact that the story in focus of the analysis is believed by some, including myself, to be a long short story rather than a short novel, this method of approach has proved to be highly useful.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>外國語文學研究所<br>94<br>Abstract My thesis is a rereading of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness based on the dialectic model of contrapuntal reading proposed by Edward Said. In the process of contrapuntal reading, the reader is expected to deal with the canonical texts involved with colonial issues from the different perspectives of the colonizers and colonized. Accordingly, in my rereading of the novella, I shall proceed from the dominant perspective of the colonizer to its antithesis in the marginalized perspective of the resistant colonized figure, and finally to a synthesis that

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>外國語文學系<br>85<br>The field of Conradian criticism has undergone great changes in recent decades. The labels attached to his works by previous critics as merely adventurous stories or his personal journals have been discarded. Recent criticisms are now emphasized on the complexity of the plots and multiple themes of his fictions. The purpose of my thesis is to explore how Conrad, through the ambivalence of the character-narrator Marlow in Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, exp

"The disinherited" in this thesis can be seen in two ways: the disinheritance of Western civilization and the disinheritance of the artist. The former centers on the problem of Western civilization, the latter focuses on the role of artist in modern society. Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Franz Kafka's The Trial describe the falling apart of civilization, and man struggles within it. And such, too, is precisely the dilemma of Conrad and Kafka

Abstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>西洋語文研究所<br>83<br>Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness has long been taken, by its first readers and since, as a powerful critique of imperialism. But as time changes, more and more post-colonial critics start to question such a view. Some of them criticize that this novella is indeed a vile product of a racist, others assert that the story is unable to transcend the ideology of Western hegemony, even if it was intended to critique. What has resulted in such different readings?

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>外國語文學系<br>88<br>Generally speaking, the uncanny in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is an aspect critics leave untouched, yet I think it deserves further pondering besides "the self-quest journey” or “the double” discussions in psychoanalytic criticism. On the other hand, putting it under the colonialistic paradigm, we find that in the 1960s and 70s, critics had chosen to develop arguments roughly based on a debate judging whether the novel is imperialistically biased or not. Inferring from this critical phenomenon, there is an uncanny effect practicing in criticism, too.

Student Number : 7639580 - MA research report - Faculty of Humanities<br>This research report explores the motif of the water journey as a metaphor for philosophical enquiry in Melville and Conrad by comparing Moby-Dick with Heart of Darkness, and Billy Budd, Sailor with Lord Jim. It takes as its starting-point M.H. Abrams’s essay, “Spiritual Travelers in Western Literature”, and adapts the typology which he introduces by identifying four different kinds of fictional journey, namely, the physical, the experiential, the narrative and the hermeneutic.

Abstract:
The primary intention of this study is to establish the theoretical significance of silence within the sphere of the twentieth-century Southern African novel in English. Clearly a feature of recent writing, silence is less overtly thematised in earlier work. Since relatively little critical and theoretical attention has been paid to silence as a positive phenomenon, however, modes of reading it are sought within the broader sphere of the social sciences, and specifically its tradition of social constructionism. Care is taken to address the pressures of the local context, identified in terms of

Their plots feature a journey into the unknown, the protagonists' confrontation with violence, and their ultimate return.
