Abstract
In this article the author makes a contribution to the still ongoing debate concerning the relation among Joseph Conrad's representations of the African continent in Heart of Darkness and the phenomenon of Imperialism. She does so through an analysis of the lemma DARK* and its diverse word forms. This is a crucial aspect of Heart of Darkness, as it is precisely this stylistic feature that has been pointed out as having played a decisive role in the construction of the well-know modern myth of 'dark Africa'.File in questo prodotto:
