Alt 1-4: African Literature Today: A Journal of Explanatory Criticism
ISBN: 9780852555064 / Angielski / Miękka / 1968 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The intention of the African Literature Today series (ALT) was, and still is, to encourage African writing in any language, whether of fiction, poetry or plays, and also to encourage its criticism. The critic's role, according to Eldred Durosimi Jones in his 1968 Introduction to ALT 1, is to make the work accessible to a wider readership and to help establish literary standards for African literature: "The more permissive the publisher's policy is, the more necessary becomes the function of the critic." This book combines the first 4 volumes in the series, which had been published as single...

In this 10th anniversary volume, first published in 1979, Eldred Jones outlines the trend over the years since independence of "a greater degree of alienation or dissidence of the principal writers from established regimes and a movement towards a closer identification with what they see as the needs of the ordinary people. Writers increasingly found themselves in difficulties with their respective governments, with ensuing consequences of loss of favour, of exile - enforced or voluntary - or worse still of detention or imprisonment in their own countries." This issue makes a reassessment of...

This volume, first published in 1984, studies the attraction of Africa for non-African writers and the widespread and differing outside influences on African writers.

Other contributors compare and contrast the works of...

In his Editorial to African Literature Today 12, first published in 1982, Eldred Jones laments the death of Camara Laye and gives tribute to him as one of the pioneers of African literature.
