The title Rhys chose for her depiction of European modernity recalls another work of modernist literature, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (first serialized in 1899). Rhys's title turns Conrad's on its head: instead of a journey from England to the dark depths of savagery in colonial Africa, it is in England that Anna travels through darkness and despair, while the colonies created in the West Indies are depicted as places of light and innocence. London is represented as a monotonous, suffocating, and alien city, in contrast to Anna's bright, vibrant, and sensual home in Dominica.
London feels like a closed and restrictive space, one which Anna visualises as like a high, dark wall. It is there in the surveillance of the landladies, the suspicions and hostility towards foreigners. The book shines a light on London in its era of imperial decline, its discourses of purity and respectability, along with the lingering sense of innate superiority and ethnocentrism perpetuated by the imperial project.
Sex and family are themes that appear extensively in Brave new world by Alodus Huxley and Voyage in the dark by Jean Rhys. I will explore the ways these themes manifest themselves in different ways in each text, and are used as agents of control. Both texts also have a lot to say regarding to the representation of masculinity and femininity. 59ce067264
