| Abstract: | The problem of studying African literature is to see whether the traditional methods of literary analysis developed within Western culture are appropriate to African literature, whether they are adequate to account for its full range of expressive means and for the contextual background from which such means derive their significance. The particular circumstances of the African literature have thrown up a whole range of problems that scholars and critics have been meeting from the very beginning of the serious study of the material. The article gives a general review of these questions. |
