- Inhalt
- Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), whose real name was Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, embarked on his literary career as he quit the service in the Merchant Navy. A native Pole and a cultural wanderer between the worlds, he wrote almost exclusively in his third language, English. Conrad became famous for stories featuring lonely, seafaring men faced with individual dilemmas of faith and conscience. His protagonists follow in the footsteps of British culture as the colonial enterprise was increasingly showing its ugly face and as technological revolutions were rendering many time-honoured traditions obsolete.
The class will focus on some of the best-known examples of Conrad’s fiction, e. g. Heart of Darkness, Youth, Under Western Eyes, and it will also deal with the later works published posthumously in Tales of Hearsay. Students with a knowledge of Polish are also encouraged to choose topics related to Conrad’s biography and the reception of his works in Poland for their papers. Please contact the lecturer at daniel.schuemann@uni-bamberg.de to enquire for a list of topics.
