Conrad's Marlow: Narrative and Death in 'Youth', Heart of Darkness, Lord Jim and Chance
Paul Wake
Abstract
This book provides a rigorous investigation of one of the more intriguing characters in English literature, looking at how the character is constructed and is then read against the main literary theorists. It illustrates how ‘Marlow’ is inextricably bound up in both the storytelling and the emergence of meaning. Joseph Conrad is still seen as one of the first Modernists and one of the finest twentieth-century novelists, and his ‘Marlow’ incorporates all of the most popular novels.
Keywords: English literature, character, literary theorists, Marlow, storytelling, emergence of meaning, Joseph Conrad, Modernists, twentieth-century novelists, popular novels
