On Joseph Conrads Betrayal to English Literary Tradition
Joseph Conrad is often regarded as a very controversial writer,and his fiction has evoked and continues to evoke quite antithetical responses from scholars around the world.There is a clear dualism in Conrads treatment of English literary tradition.On one hand,many of Conrads jungle fictions reflect the colors of English imperial romance:exoticness,oversea adventure,imperial enterprise,colonialism,and colonization; on the other hand,to a certain extent,Conrad betrays that literary tradition with a cross-cultural writing perspective.Born with a Polish noble temperament,having suffered two exiles,and given varied and cosmopolitan influences,he holds a distinct perception of European life and culture.Hence,he subverts the theme of imperial romance of British literature.
