Description

The most comprehensive reference work on African literature to date, this book covers all the key historical and cultural issues in the field.

The Encyclopedia contains over 600 entries covering criticism and theory, African literature's development as a field of scholarship, and studies of established and lesser-known writers and their texts.

While the greatest proportion of literary work in Africa has been a product of the twentieth century, the Encyclopedia also covers the literature back to the earliest eras of story-telling and oral transmission, making this a unique and valuable resource for those studying social sciences as well as humanities.

This work includes cross-references, suggestions for further reading, and a comprehensive index.
