摘要：

Joseph Conrad's novels cannot be referred to as ecological novels in strict sense, but his marine and jungle novels imply some ecological ideas criticism of industrial civilization and advocate of primitivism. Therefore, ecocriticism provides us a new perspective to Conrad's novels. Taking An Outcast of the Island and Heart of Darkness for example, the author of the paper attempts to examine Conrad's criticism of the mechanical civilization, lash at the materialism of modern humans and advocate of the relatively primitive state of being, from which we can further interpret Conrad's concern of the moral crisis in modern society.
