  • Soho as Mnemonic Black Hole: "Topographical Mysteries" in The Secret Agent

    [Abstract]

    In its apparently faithful, at times even grotesque, reproduction of London in the late Victorian period, The Secret Agent makes us see the social reality of the metropolis. However, in the geography of Conrad's monstrous town, sometimes suddenly spaces opens up that resist the reader's attempted mapping. These `topographical mysteries' undermine the sense of historical referentiality that the novel otherwise seems to explore in its naturalistic engagement with the landscape of the city. Considering the story's ambiguous historicity less in terms of the author's misremembrance than in terms of a mnemonic `black hole', which is a question of traumatic memory, this essay suggests that the occasional difficulty of anchoring the text to a particular space and time, in part, renders the novel all the more open to new readings, thereby enabling it to return again and again as `the true classic of terrorism'.
