African Literature: Pilot Bibliography of Research in Southern Africa 1908-1991 (Studia composita)

This book aims to provide a valuable addition to the limited body of reference books on African literature. Literary research on African languages has grown steadily over the years and it has become increasingly difficult for students and scholars to keep track of developments in this field. This publication provides an overview of research on African language literatures between 1908 and the middle of 1991. It covers the Nguni languages: Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Ndebele; the Sotho languages: Southern Sotho, Northern Sotho, Tswana; and Tsonga, Venda and Shona.
