mailing list archive - Joseph Contrad _Heart of Darkness_ and EJ

Don't know of any mentioning of _Heart of
Darkness_ in EJs works, but there might well
be one. As was mentioned by Olaf there is nothing
on Conrad on Noack. Have checked a
couple of other biographies but EJ once visited
Angola, when it was still a part of Portugal
(overseas territory). Quite possibly something
might be found there.

Conrad is mentioned by Bohrer, but it is the
story _Outpost of Progress_. EJ is supposed
to have commented on that book in _Strahlungen_
and the subject of the OoP is similar to HoD,
only the first mentioned story is placed in
Asia.

My favourite latest, I think, edition of
_Heart of Darkness_ was published in 1995
in Canada by Broadview Literary Texts with
a fine commentary (editor D.C.R.A. Goonetilleke).

Best greetings

Bertil Haggman
