- This 90,000-word monograph is based on more than six years of meticulous archival research across Europe, West Africa and North America. It brings together a range historical documents, which have not been previously studied, setting them alongside reading of literary texts and publishing histories to produce a comprehensive comparative history of the novel in West Africa and its interconnection with the complex spatial legacies of British and French systems of colonial administration. This research was supported by external research funding from the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust. It has a multilingual scope covering a broad geography (Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire).
