'Criticism' includes a wealth of new materials, including nine contemporary reviews and assessments of Conrad and Heart of Darkness and twelve recent essays by Chinua Achebe, Peter Brooks, Daphne Erdinast-Vulcan, Edward Said, and Paul B. New to the Fourth Edition is an excerpt from Adam Hochschild’s recent book, King Leopold’s Ghost, as well as writings on race by Hegel, Darwin, and Galton. Textual materials, topically arranged, address nineteenth-century views of imperialism and racism and include autobiographical writings by Conrad on his life in the Congo. 'Backgrounds and Contexts' provides readers with a generous collection of maps and photographs that bring the Belgian Congo to life. The result is the first published version of Heart of Darkness that allows readers to hear Marlow’s voice as Conrad heard it when he wrote the story.

The Fourth Edition is again based on Robert Kimbrough’s meticulously re-edited text.Missing words have been restored and the entire novel has been repunctuated in accordance with Conrad’s style.
