图书标签: 英语 原著
Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad's fictional account of a journey up the Congo river in 1890, raises important questions about colonialism and narrative theory. 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.
其实不太满意这本书的编排,编者的导读似乎带有某种立场,想要就Achebe对Heart of Darkness 的批判作出辩护,前面所筛选的小说片段以及和写作背景相关的文章,感觉是带有倾向性的,或许是想导向关于殖民主义帝国主义争议的开放性思考,然而后面所筛选的文章,又杂糅了叙事印象主义、电影改编、女性主义等讨论,就显得有些碎乱,可能编者另有深意吧,是我没读懂????倒数第二篇课堂讨论确实有趣,关于经典的讨论热潮某种程度是由对经典的质疑而引发的,西方学者不断追溯回同个文本也是对自身文明不断反思的过程,以及“Literature lacks the perfection of justice”对于Heart of Darkness来说可真是一条悖论
评分这本甚至比布鲁姆那本还神奇。原以为casebook里只是文献集,结果这里有康拉德自己的短篇,有柯南道尔的同题材短篇,有康拉德朋友的纪实散文,有史料调查,还有New Yoker到哥大旁听本科生课写的记录(这篇尤其有趣,写俩学生吵架,还顺手黑了萨义德和Achebe),不能再好。

评分主要还是后面几篇讨论殖民思想的有点价值。
