Description of  Emotions and Contingencies in Conrad's Fiction

3031667220 rar This book sets out to elucidate Conrads unique insight into the workings of human emotions for a readership of scholars and graduate students engaged in Conrad studies. It argues that the originality of Conrads conception of human emotions lies in his comprehensive grasp of emotions in the broad framework of a contingent world he regards emotions as fundamentally a manifestation of human defiance towards reality. The book takes up seven of Conrads works which are of significance from the perspective of emotions and contingencies, including Heart of Darkness and Nostromo.
