Tracing recurrent linguistic patterns allows Senn to demonstrate that Conrad?s view of the radical indeterminacy of the world is conveyed on the most basic levels of the author?s (often criticised) verbal style but permeates his work at all levels of the narrative. Detailed stylistic analysis also reveals the importance, to Conrad, of the spoken word, of oral communication. Senn argues that the narrators? compulsive efforts to make their readers see and understand reflect Conrad?s ethics of human solidarity in a world he depicts as hostile, enigmatic and often senseless. 410 0$aConrad Studies$v10. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 676 $a823/.912 700 $aSenn$b Werner$0555298 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817436603321 996 $aConrad's narrative voice$9983392 997 $aUNINA
