- Title
"Amy Foster" and the Muteness of Joseph Conrad's Multilingualism.
- Authors
Tadevosyan-Ordukhanyan, Margarit
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the short story "Amy Foster" by Joseph Conrad is presented. The author suggests that the character of Yanko Goorall autobiographically reflects Conrad's struggle with linguistic assimilation and exile. However, the article argues that Conrad's manipulation of Yanko's language is a clear division between author and character. The author concludes that Yanko is unable to translate himself clearly into a form of accepted discourse in a multilingual and multicultural context. This article was edited by Sarah Fendley.
