dc.description.abstract	This MA thesis will explore the narrators of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and At the Mountains of Madness and The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft and examine how they relate to the space beyond their perception. It will focus on the trouble they have representing what they cannot perceive, and the encounters they have in that space after venturing into it. Following non-representational theory, this thesis will follow J. D. Dewsbury's notion of the “haunted space” in order to understand the narrators of these novels and how they interact with what lies beyond their perception and representation.
