A Note on When the Sleeper Wakes and Heart of Darkness (2004)
Journal Article
Dryden, L. (2004). A Note on When the Sleeper Wakes and Heart of Darkness. Notes and Queries, 171-174

This article discusses the fact that Heart of Darkness is mentioned in H. G. Wells's When the Sleeper Wakes. It argues that due to publication dates, it would seem that Wells knew about Conrad's story and may well have seen the manuscript.
