Many of the essays collected here deal with early publications and manuscripts by now-famous writers from West, East, and South Africa that were found in libraries, publishing houses, newspaper offices, and philanthropic institutions not only in Africa but in Europe and America as well. It was possible to glean significant new information about these writers and their works by gaining access to such rich archival resources. The second part of the book describes samples of the African holdings at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, where similar records enable scholars to conduct fruitful research on a wide range of African literatures. Catalogues of the major collections can be found online, and fellowships are available to those who wish to study certain of these materials"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a "Beware the Ides of March" : Amending Nyerere's Julius Caezar -- Remembering Early Issues of African Literature Today -- Amos Tutuola's First Manuscript -- Another Hunter's Tale -- Tutuola's Search for a Publisher -- Chinua Achebe's Revisions of A Man of the People -- Some Early Letters by Wole Soyinka -- Soyinka's Rockefeller Ride -- Audience Responses to a BBC Broadcast of Soyinka's The Lion and the Jewel -- Ngugi wa Thiong'o's Early Journalism -- Okigbo as Jock -- Ayi Kwei Armah's Harvard Writings -- John Galsworthy and Sarah Gertrude Millin -- Dennis Brutus in the Dock -- Dennis Brutus, Texas Poet -- African Holdings of the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin -- The Charles R.
