  • The Following Is Most of the Text of the Presentation I Did at Readercon 29
    The following is most of the text of the presentation I did at Readercon 29. I ran out of time, so I wasn't able to give the entire talk. And my Powerpoint file became corrupted, so I gave the presentation without the images, as I'd originally planned. Here, then, is the original, as requested by a couple of the folks who attended the presentation. THE HISTORY OF HORROR LITERATURE IN AFRICA IN THE 20TH CENTURY Horror literature has not been restricted to the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, despite what critics and historians of the genre assume. Most countries which have a flourishing market for popular literature have seen natively-written horror fiction, whether in the form of dime novels, short stories, or novels. This is true of the European countries, whose horror writers are given at least a cursory mention in the broader types of horror criticism. But this is also true of countries outside of Europe, and in countries and continents where Western horror critics dare not tread, like Africa. Now, a thorough history of African horror literature is beyond the time I have today, so what follows is going to be a more limited coverage, of African horror literature in the twentieth century. I’ll be going alphabetically and chronologically through three time periods: 1901-1940, 1941-1970, and 1971-2000. I’d love to be able to tell you a unified theory of African horror literature for those time periods, but there isn’t one. Africa is far too large for that.

  • The Mofolo Effect and the Substance of Lesotho Literature in English
    Piniel Viriri Shava & The Mofolo effect and the Lesole Kolobe Piniel Viriri Shava is a senior substance of Lesotho literature lecturer in the Department of English at the National University in English of Lesotho, specializing in the literature of Lesotho. Email: [email protected] Lesole Kolobe is attached to the Lesotho College of Education. Email: [email protected] The Mofolo effect and the substance of Lesotho literature in English Thomas Mofolo is a renowned twentieth century writer who emerged in Lesotho as a product of the spread of missionary education. Written in Sesotho, his works have been translated into English over time. Etymologically, the word “effect” in the title refers to a phenomenon or an observable fact or occurrence that assumes the effects of a norm. The word has connotations of positive expectation, standard, measure and yardstick in determining the reciprocal influence of between past and present, old and new in Basotho imaginative production. This article sets out to determine the impact of Thomas Mofolo’s role as a precursor to, or predecessor of Lesotho literature in general. The idea is to measure whether we can speak of a “Mofolo effect” in both the origins and ascendancy of Lesotho literature in English in particular. Keywords: Lesotho literature, literary history, Thomas Mofolo. Introduction and theoretical underpinning This article interrogates a number of facets of Lesotho literature in English and Thomas Mofolo’s role in it. We are deliberately focusing on literature written in English and not in Sesotho, as the latter has been covered substantially by others (see Swanepoel; Ntuli and Swanepoel), and we find it necessary to stake claims from Lesotho on the English literary map of southern Africa.
