How did West African literature in English begin? What influences
affected its birth and development? How much does it imitate
European models? How is traditional African culture influencing
modern writing? What kind of experiments are being tried? These are
some of the questions, relevant to African writing throughout the
continent, which this critical study discusses by examining the
most significant work in verse, prose, drama, children's
literature, journalism and political writing in West Africa. The
author examines the writing of major figures such as Soyinka,
Achebe, Okara, Clark, Tutuola and Ekwensi as well as that of
authors whose work is not as widely known.
