The essay focuses on The Shadow Line's use, and parody, of providential plot and Gothic stereotypes. Conrad evokes and undermines a providential view of events and the anti-providential response of late 19th-century fiction. His self-reflexive work with genres is, therefore, ultimately instrumental to representing an open, non-teleological time time that escapes anthropocentric conceptions and values individual choice.

Abstract
The essay focuses on The Shadow Line's use, and parody, of providential plot and Gothic stereotypes. Conrad evokes and undermines a providential view of events and the anti-providential response of late 19th-century fiction. His self-reflexive work with genres is, therefore, ultimately instrumental to representing an open, non-teleological time time that escapes anthropocentric conceptions and values individual choice.File allegati a questo prodotto
