Description
Wole Soyinka's insightful analysis of the interconnected worlds of myth, ritual, and literature in Africa explores the cultural entity's perception of itself and the differences between its essential unity of experience and literary form. The author examines the centrality of ritual in drama and its equal importance in contemporary poetry and fiction. This thought-provoking book highlights the significance of African criticism and its penetrating analysis of literary and cultural achievements.
