| Résumé : |
This book gives students invaluable help in the difficult task of evaluating style. The author braks away from the conventional methods of analysis to show linguistics can contribute to the study of literature.Form and content are considered as equals in practical analysis. In part 1 Dr Ngara uses the theory of stylistic criticism to demonstrate that sociological and aesthetic issues are inseparable in the African novel.He uses examples from African literature in the important debate between the western and African-orientated approaches to criticism. In Part 2the author analyses novels with widely contrasting styles by five of Africa's leading writers: Chinua Achebe's Arrow of God, Ngugi's Agrain of Wheat, Ayi Kwei Armah's Two Thousand Seasons, Gabriel Okara's The Voice and Wole Soyinka's Season of Anomy. This book will be of great value to all those school, college and university students of African literature in Africa,North America and Britain who are interested in a fresh approach to the study of literary criticism and the African novel. |
