Apprehensive Moments: Conrad, Chaucer, and the 'Sefer Yetsira'
- Published
- Cithara 29 (1989): 48-71.
- Description
- "Sefer Yetsira" of the ancient Jewish mystics, Chaucer's PF and Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" center on the necessary acknowledgement of the unfixed quality of language that Bakhtin describes. All three are concerned with distinct moments in the linguistic process when the process itself becomes conscious and inevitably self-reflexive.
