Hardcover. Condition: Good Plus. First Edition. [CRITICISM]. Charles E. Nnolim. "Melville's "Benito Cereno": A Study in Meaning of Name Symbolism." New York: New Voices Publishing Company.

Good Plus. ISBN: 0911024131. "Name-symbolism in Melville's work is a neglected issue. Little thought has been given by critics to the fact that for Melville, proper names do serve a structural and thematic purpose. Although occasional hints have been given in reference to the possible meaning of Babo and Benito Cereno in 'Benito Cereno,' no study, so far as is known, has been undertaken to survey or examine Melville's use of names in the tale, as a structural and thematic device. This study was undertaken to examine, in the main, Melville's use of proper names as a formalistic and symbolistic device in 'Benito Cereno.'". …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The lectures in this book were delivered at significant points in Professor Nnolim's career. 'Literature and the Common Welfare' (1988) was his inaugural lecture, his declaration that he had come of age as an academic, as a young Professor of literature. In August 2000, he delivered 'Literature, the Arts and Cultural Development' to announce his induction as a member of the Nigerian Academy of Letters in which he was finally admitted as a Fellow in 2005. In this lecture, Nnolim makes strong claims about the validity of literature in Nigeria's national life. In August, 2007, Professor Nnolim delivered 'The Writer's Responsibility and Literature in National Development'. Here he re-emphasizes the importance of literary studies in Nigeria's national life and goes on to lament the total neglect of Nigeria's artists, writers, and world class intellectuals in national life. The fourth lecture, 'Morning Yet on Criticism Day: the Criticism of African Literature in the Twentieth Century', was given as a laureate of the Nigerian National Merit Award, 2009. It unifies Professor Nnolim's various pleas for the role of literature in national development but particularly re-emphasizing the problem of language in Nigeria's creative writing and urging governmental intervention in the matter.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The multitudinous nature of African literature has always been an issue but really not a problem, although its oral base has been used by expatriate critics to accuse African literature of thin plots, superficial characterisation, and narrative structures. African literature also, it is observed, is a mixed grill: it is oral; it is written in vernacular or tribal tongues; written in foreign tongues English, French, Portuguese and within the foreign language in which it is written, pidgin and creole further bend the already bent language giving African literature a further taint of linguistic impurity. African literature further suffers from the nature of its 'newness' and this created problems for the critic. Because it is new, and because its critics are in simultaneous existence with its writers, we confront the problem of 'instant analysis'. Issues in African Literature continues the debate and tries to clarify contemporary burning issues in African literature, by focussing on particular areas where the debate has been most concerned or around which it has hovered and been persistent. …
