Joseph Conrad and the aesthetics of music.
Rorke, Christopher Michael.

Joseph Conrad and the aesthetics of music. - 60 p.

Thesis (M.M.)--The Florida State University, 2015.

An essential relationship between science, subjectivity, and music is evident in the work of Joseph Conrad. The origins of this interdependence can be traced back to the Romantic metaphysics of the early nineteenth century, when the aesthetics of absolute music began to defend the primacy of music as an unmotivated, autonomous form of art. Despite the influence of scientific positivism during the second half of the nineteenth century, music continued to enjoy a privileged reputation and is cited by Conrad in the Preface to The Nigger of the "Narcissus" as the highest art. Conrad's interest in music was specifically related to the alternatives that its temporality provided for new narrative forms, and in Heart of Darkness Conrad makes an explicit attempt to create a narrative voice based on the aesthetics of absolute music. This attempt proves problematic, however, and in his late novel Victory Conrad reflects on the tragic contradictions inherent in the relationship between music and the realization of subjective autonomy.
