Hearts of Darkness: Melville and Conrad in the Space of World Culture

Location: Szczecin, Poland
Period: 4.-7. August 2007

Organizing the Conference in the year 2007 - the Conrad Year - we strive to create an opportunity for Melville and Conrad scholarship to go beyond the boundaries of national literature and to enter a serious humanist debate on the cultural heritage of both excellent writers, whose contribution to the world culture has rarely been considered jointly.
Such a unique meeting of international literary scholars focusing on common themes will help to promote
individual and institutional cooperation among Conradian and Melvillean scholars world-wide.
