| Abstract Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) is a polish-born English novelist considered to be among the great modernist writers, such as William Faulkner (1897–1962) and Virginia Woolf (1882–1941). In fact he is an important precursor of modernist literature. Conrad's work explores the vulnerability and moral instability at the heart of human lives. What is common in his novels is the sense of corruption and the feeling of a society that has lost direction and purpose which is the core of ''Modernism''. This research involves the definition and background of ''Modernism'', and how the features of the modernist novel are obvious in Conrad's Heart of Darkness which reveals the terrifying depths of human corruptibility. Heart of Darkness is a story within a story full of symbols and images. It is a typical modernist novel. Throughout this research Conrad's life is explained to see its effect on his style. | ||
