Media Reviews
Gives ample evidence that some victims of the exploitation Conrad explored in Heart of Darkness needed nobody to writefor them, were listened to in their own time and can be heard now. An admirable book ... the biographical and textual notes are excellent and the bibliography is ample and annotated.
