    About this ebook

    Modern Literature has diversified into comparative literature and African Literature has become quite important in this field. This is because it not only tries to rewrite a lot about Africa which was biased according to Eurocentric writers but also because it incorporates a lot of issues uniquely African. These may have to do with the traditional African Societies as well as the evolution of new so-called modern African societies, more oriented to the west or Christianized living. African writers have taken differing poles as far as this is concerned. H R ole Kulet becomes important here because he is one of those modernized African writers with quite some lore to his name. Any critic of African or Comparative literature will therefore find him an interesting, sometimes an enlightening read. Blossoms of the Savannah is a novel that examines African traditions is so far as some need to be done away with while others need to be retained. This criticism book examines THEMES and ELEMENTS OF STYLE in this novel, following the FIRST BOOKLET which examined the PLOT ANALYSIS and the CHARACTERS of Blossoms of the Savannah. It aims to give insight to the concerns or THEMES of the novel and the STYLE - HOW THE NOVEL IS CRAFTED; how these two issues help demonstrate the coming of age for the African novel and the nature of modern African writers - those who have not been sung the way Ngugi and Achebe have,
