This critical anthology brings together Soyinka scholars from across the globe to throw new light on major issues and concerns in Soyinka studies. These include Soyinka’s embeddedness in metaphysics and his ritual theory of drama, the relation between post-colonial theory and embodied practice, a critique of the ‘culturalist’ argument in Soyinka’s works, his representations of gender, and his use of postmodernist play. The essays employ a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine Soyinka’s plays, novels, and poetry, and to trace his fascinating journey from Ogunian metaphysics to proletarian engagement.
