Abstract: | Interest in the Bleek and Lloyd archive of /Xam materials in South Africa continues to grow each year. This has resulted in a proliferation of writing on the subject. Several major preoccupations can be discerned in this body of writing: these include the actual process of the collection of the materials and the relationships between the main players in the colonial context of Victorian Cape Town, the status of the materials as oral literature and their interpretation and analysis. In this article the author summarizes and assesses the implications of historian Andrew Bank's work 'Bushmen in a Victorian world: the remarkable story of the Bleek-Lloyd collection of Bushman folklore' (2006) for each of these areas of interest in the Bleek and Lloyd collection.
