Dante, Doré, and Conrad
Conradiana
(2006)
Abstract
In 'Repainting Hell: Conrad's Infernal Imagery,' I wrote on some of the imagery in 'Falk,' An outcast of the Islands, and Lord Jim, as well as on the way Joseph Conrad uses imagery to allude to the Inferno. I would like to revisit some of this imagery, particularly in 'Falk' and in Outcast, not in terms of what it signifies as allusion to the Inferno within the context of this narrative or that of Conrad's fiction, but in terms of how some of this imagery might help in isolating in what form it was that Conrad read Dante Alighieri. In addition to this, the imagery and its source can be seen to offer some insights into the way Conrad used imagery in general within his fiction.
