    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Ingham urges a &quot;contrapuntal&quot; postcolonial approach to premodern texts - i.e., an approach that observes differences and distinctions that are oppositional without overdetermining them. She explores how Chaucer&#039;s MLT and Conrad&#039;s &quot;Heart of Darkness&quot; invite and resist colonialist attitudes.]]></dcterms:description>
