This index will facilitate in-depth research into 20 of Soyinka's major works including plays, novels, and poetry. . . . An important tool for anyone engaged in the study of Soyinka's writings. ChoiceThis is the first comprehensive index of subjects, themes, and proverbs in the works of Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986. Designed to enhance comprehension of Soyinka's art, the index shows what ideas and objects are present in the author's works, how frequency of their usage can be used as one indicator of importance, and the relationships of themes, subjects, and proverbs among the characters in his works. Coverage includes all of Soyinka's major books: twelve plays, two autobiographies, two novels, three volumes of poetry, and one philosophical exploration of myth and literature. The compiler's critical introduction places the works in context and offers a valuable interpretation based on the materials contained in the Index.

Nearly all of Laurence's works from Africa and Canada are critiqued in this volume. The essays highlight Laurence's innovative narrative styles, showing how her combinations of oral literary forms and unique shifts in tense and point of view help her achieve vivid character portrayals. In addition, viewing Laurence's prose as closely textured poetry, her use of language, theme, and image are carefully critiqued. The importance of Laurence's portrayal of women's experiences, most notably that of aging women, is viewed in a feminist framework. These new American perspectives on Laurence will be of interest to both scholars and students.
