The Function of Landcape Description in Joseph Conrad's Nostromo
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>In Nostromo, Conrad’s longest novel, the author develops a complex plot involving a number of personal stories, interrelated by their reference to the development of a silver mine near Sulaco, and by their connection with a series of political changes. He shifts his chronology from modern times to primitive, and to stages in between these extremes. It is important that the reader sees clearly the environment in which the characters act out their stories, since the natural setting contributes to the working out of events.</p>
