The text of the play is accompanied by an introduction and explanatory annotations for the many allusions to traditional Nigerian myth and culture." "Included are a map of Yorubaland, discussions of Yoruban religious beliefs and cultural traditions. Soyinka on the various forms that theater has taken in African culture in order to survive, and Anthony Appiah on Soyinka's struggle with the problem of African identity in the creation of Death and the King's Horseman. Commentary on the play as both a theatrical production and a classroom text is provided."--BOOK JACKET. Published By W. W. Norton & Company on 2002
