About This Item
(Durban: Killie Campbell Africana Library/Pietermaritzburg: University of Natal Press, 1989) 0869806866. 202 x 144 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xxvi + 177, incl. index; portrait and title page vignette. Very slightly rubbed; some foxing. Very good condition. "The African poems of Thomas Pringle wrestle with issues that are still alive in South Africa today - racial conflict, political oppression, censorship and the need for freedom of expression. This volume reproduces Poems Illustrative of South Africa which appeared in 1834 and reflects Pringle's residence at the Cape for six years from 1820." .
