Outposts of Progress
Joseph Conrad, modernism and post-colonialism
Editors: G Fincham, J Hawthorn & J Lothe
This book draws its title from Conrad’s short story, ‘An Outpost of Progress’ which represented the responses of a European to colonial settler assumptions about progress and backwardness, in the light of his rst-hand experience of Europeans in Africa at the end of the nineteenth century. The 13 essays in this collection engage directly with the ways in which Conrad’s ction explores and problematises the notion of ‘progress’, not only at the time when he was writing but now, more than a century later. Although the relationship between modernist and postcolonial literature has been theorised by critics in Britain, Europe and America since the late 1980s, for the rst time, this book brings these debates to Africa.
