This casebook contains materials relevant to a deeper understanding of the origins and reception of this controversial text, including Conrad's own story \"An Outpost of Progress,\" together with a little-known memoir by one of Conrad's oldest English friends, a brief history of the Congo Free State by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a parody of Conrad by Max Beerbohm. A wide range of theoretical approaches are also represented, examining Conrad's text in terms of cultural, historical, textual, stylistic, narratological, post-colonial, feminist, and reader-response criticism. The volume concludes with an interview in which Conrad compares his adventures on the Congo with Mark Twain's experiences as a Mississippi pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666857263392,"sku":"NEW0195159969","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81XXYQMshrL.jpg?v=1778950636","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/joseph-conrads-heart-of-darkness-a-casebook-casebooks-in-criticism-0195159969","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
