About This Item
(no place: Theoria, no date). Offprint from the journal 'Theoria'. 215 x 137 mm; saddle-stitched booklet, without wraps, as issued; pp. (i) + [44-54]; front page included in pagination. Very good condition. Essential introduction to the subject. "It would seem almost inaccurate to write of Zulu literature at all, for its written content is so small and its writers so inexperienced that what exists can hardly lay claim to what is generally understood by the term. Be that as it may, it is true that the best of Zulu literature is still unwritten, and is being preserved by the people by being handed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation, in song, legend and story." .
