内容简介
The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough's meticulously re-edited text. Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad's style. The result is the first published version ofHeart of Darknessthat allows readers to hear Marlow's voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.
"Backgrounds and Contexts" provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild's recent book,King Leopold's Ghost, as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton.
"Criticism" includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad andHeart of Darknessand twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. Armstrong, among others. Also new to this edition is a section of writings on the connections betweenHeart of Darknessand the filmApocalypse Nowby Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
