Description:
This guide traces the critical history of Heart of Darkness, beginning with an introduction to Joseph Conrad's life and the growth of the book's reputation in the earliest part of the century. Tredell (American and English literature, Sussex U.) then examines four major readings from the 1960s when Heart of Darkness was at its height of critical popularity, followed by examples of the challenges and criticisms of the book's themes in the 1970s and 1980s. Critical themes explored include imperialism, racism, feminism, narrative style, and symbolism.
