Description
This collection of articles is the fourth to incorporate reworked papers from the International Conference on the Humanities in Southern Africa held in late June 2008 (see EAR 26(1&2) 2009; EAR 27(1) 2010; & JLS 26(2) 2010). Assisted by my peer reviewers, I have selected ten articles on literary theory from a superb range of one hundred and thirty-two papers from that joint conference. What is particularly impressive about this present selection of articles, is the range of theoretical approaches: from production to metacriticism, from theorising about theory to its rigorous application. These ten articles represent a tour de force of various generic categories of writing. Stephen Gray's guiding metaphor in Southern African Literature: An Introduction (1979: 14) pertains: "Southern African literature [and South African literary criticism] is like an archipelago".
