More about the book
The essay critically examines the contrasting portrayals of Africa by Henry Rider Haggard and Joseph Conrad, challenging the notion that Haggard is merely an imperialist. It argues that while Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" presents Africa negatively, Haggard offers a more nuanced and graceful depiction of the continent and its people, despite his literary flaws. The paper highlights how both authors reflect their biases and ambitions, yet Haggard's vision lacks the profound anxiety about Africa that Chinua Achebe identifies in Conrad's work.
