Heart of Darkness (Norton Critical Editions)

Heart of Darkness (Norton Critical Editions)

The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbroughâ€™s meticulously re-edited text.
Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conradâ€™s style. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlowâ€™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 Hochschildâ€™s recent book, King Leopoldâ€™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 and Heart of Darkness and 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 between Heart of Darkness and the film Apocalypse Now by Louis K. Greiff, Margot Norris, and Lynda J. Dryden. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
