From Library Journal
Rule of Darkness a title with a point of viewexplores imperialist ideology in 19th-century England from 1830 onward. Brantlinger draws on a wide range of materials to make his case: the boys' adventure novels of Captain Marryat, the fiction of Thackeray and Disraeli, personal narratives by explorers. The book concludes with a revisionist reading of Heart of Darkness. Brantlinger's argument is imposing and well documented, but this book has an ax to grind. Furthermore, the pattern of imperialistic thinking Brantlinger discerns in Victorian literature and culture is hardly astonishing. The author generally suppresses his judgmental attitude, but it lurks close enough to the surface to make Rule of Darkness somewhat tiresome. Keith Cushman, Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro
