English Department The Liberian Literature Project

Anglophone Liberian Literature: Primary Texts

Please use the Missing Texts form if you know a primary text that does not appear in the table below but that meets the following critiera:

  1. primary text written by a Liberian author (incl. diaspora authors);

  2. primary text centrally concerned with Liberia;

  3. secondary source that is particularly useful and/or relevant to the study of Liberian Literature.

On the Symbols and Genre Terms Used in the Table

  • Entries marked with an asterisk (*) in the first column were written by 'clearly' non-Liberian authors (i.e. neither Liberian citizen nor members of the Liberian diaspora).
  • If the year is followed by a question mark (?), this means that it is only a rough estimate. For example, it is clear that Milton Nassau's poems were written in the early decades of the twentieth century, and probably during the 1920s. In the table below, the year is given as "1925 (?)."

The aim is to keep the list of genre terms short and simple. The goal, in other words, is not nuanced analysis but a first, broad categorization. The nine labels used in the table are:

1. Autobiography & Memoir
          4. Essays & Speeches
          7. Novel
2. Children's Literature
          5. Folklore & Oral
          8. Poetry
3. Drama*
          6. Letters & Travel Writing
          9. Short Story

 * "Drama" also includes radio plays, which have long been an important genre in Liberia.
