by Nicolas Tredell (Editor)

Description
Spanning an impressive range of interpretations, the critical works in this collection analyze the complex narrative technique of "Heart Of Darkness" while exploring its evocation of myth, philosophy, and politics, its attitudes to empire, its images of Africa, and its representations of women. Examining secondary sources from the 1900s to the 1990s, this "Guide" is an indispensable resource for the study of one of Conrad's most potent works.Tags

A very informative survey of critical essays on Heart of Darkness, from the time of publication until today. Because I didn't know quite what I felt about Heart of Darkness when I read it, I enjoyed the many points of view about the novel that this book contained.
