Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Literature - Africa, grade: 70%, University of Ibadan (UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, NIGERIA), course: YORÙBÁ LITERATURE, language: English, abstract: This paper critically reviews Sotunsa's (2005) "Features of Talking Drum Poetry," a doctoral thesis submitted to the English Department, Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan. To present this paper in a simpler form an attempt has been made to divide it into sections. Section one discusses the introduction which is the background to the paper, while section two (the abstract) discusses the paper's goals. The third section covers the summary of the thesis. Section four as well is a critical review of affirmations made by the author. We considered some scholars' views on these affirmations and looked at their genuineness. We made assumptions to rectify some views likewise we made comment to credit the genuineness of author's arguments where it is necessary. In the last section, we do the summary and make some recommendations in support of author's arguments established in the last chapter of the thesis. Our goal, in this paper, is to do a constructive criticism on Sotunsa's doctoral thesis basically, it is for academic purposes.
