Description
Ingham urges a "contrapuntal" postcolonial approach to premodern texts - i.e., an approach that observes differences and distinctions that are oppositional without overdetermining them. She explores how Chaucer's MLT and Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" invite and resist colonialist attitudes.
