About the book

A comparative study of W.B. Yeats and Wole Soyinka that makes a poignant contribution to the debated correlation between the sensibility and the environment of respective artists. Akporji argues that these two artists from quite different environments and time frames both adopt similar as well as contrasting approaches to expressing their reaction to their particularised national experiences. Both employ theatrical conventions traced back to ancient Greece, which suggests that, despite their disparate origins, they still draw from the same universal well.
