Essays on Literary Criticism is a book of a collection of essays on Literary Theory. The articles are published in some University Journals. The idea of collecting these articles in a book came to me as to make a book of Modern literary criticism which discusses different topics related to Literary Theory. The articles vary in topics but all discuss literary criticism as a major interest of the writer. ¿Brave New Era, 21st Century Literature and Modern Technology¿ which is written 2010. ¿Anthony Burgess and Vikram Seth as Twentieth Century Verse Novelists¿ 2010. ¿E. M. Forster¿s Theory of Fiction¿ 2012. ¿Narrative Perspectives in Naipaul¿s Fiction (A Critical Study)¿ 2011. ¿Aspects of Radical Feminism in the Fiction of the 21st Century (A Theoretical Study)¿ 2012. ¿Derek Walcott's Omeros as a Postcolonial Symbolism: A Critical Study¿ 2011. ¿After Criticism, A Call to Rethink Queer Theory¿ 2015.

This study demonstrates how modern linguistics works within the framework of stylistics, with special reference to Conrad's Heart of Darkness. It is assumed that any detailed examination of the language of a literary text is a part of literary criticism. But within the linguistic branches, literary stylistics offers a close examination of the various levels of language (e.g. phonological, grammatical, lexical etc.) in a literary text. the researcher chose Joseph Conrad, the English novelist who received a severe attack from critics because of the ambiguous nature of his style. so this study tries to assess the outstanding features of Conrad¿s narrative style to find out a connection between the linguistic features and the mysterious atmosphere of his novel, Heart of Darkness. In short, this study examines the dynamics of handling the narrative style and the element of mystery in the novel.
