44. Presidential Lectures: Wole Soyinka: Introduction Wole Soyinka is among contemporary Africa's greatest writers. He is also one of the continent's most imaginative advocates of native culture and of the humane social order it http://prelectur.stanford.edu/lecturers/soyinka/index.html

Soyinka recalls his father's world in (1989) and recounts his own early life in (1981), two of his several autobiographical books. ends in 1945 when Soyinka is eleven, with his induction into the protest movement that during the next decade won Nigeria's freedom from British rule. The political turbulence of these years framed Soyinka's adolescence and early adulthood, which he chronicles in his most recent autobiographical work, Ibadan, The Penkelemes Years, A Memoir: 1946-1965 The Swamp Dwellers and The Lion and the Jewel, and their successful staging in both London and Ibadan. In 1960 a Rockefeller research grant enabled Soyinka, now 26, to return to Nigeria. There he assembled his own acting company, produced a new play, A Dance of the Forests, and timed its opening to coincide with the country's official celebration of independence in October. Though Soyinka's return from England had been widely welcomed, A Dance of the Forests at once placed him at odds with Nigeria's newly installed leaders as well as with many of his fellow intellectuals. Thematically, the play presents a pageant of black Africa's "recurrent cycle of stupidities," a spectacle designed to remind citizens of the chronic dishonesty and abuse of power which colonialism had bred in generations of native politicians. Stylistically, A Dance of the Forests is a complex fusion of Yoruba festival traditions with European modernism. Hostility greeted the play from almost all quarters. Nigerian authorities were angered by Soyinka's suggestion of wide-spread corruption, leftists complained about the play's elitist aesthetics, and

The majority of his essays are widely scattered throughout numerous small journals and obscure newspapers, and so can be difficult to locate. As a result, his best-known and most influential essays are those which are available in three volumes of collected essays: Myth, Literature and the African World (1976) and Art, Dialogue and Outrage: Essays on Literature and Culture (1988) bring together a number of his most important essays on literary criticism and aesthetic theory, while more recently The Open Sore of a Continent (1996) puts together in book form a series of Soyinka’s public lectures which examine the present political crisis in Nigeria.
