| dc.description.abstract | The subject of Soyinka’s drama is one that can be, and indeed has been, approached from many perspective however, form which enough work is yet to be done is that of metanimesis. All art Aristotle would have us believe, is mimesis- imitation. That this mimetic craftsmanship is capable of yielding the author’s vision beyond the surface massage is held to be axiomatic by a cross section of literary practitioners, But that metamimesis the adaptive process or “imitation of an imitation” is sure suited for eliciting this vision, and the more deep-seated aesthetic, not always been stressed. This project has been undertaken with a view to rectifying this anomaly | |
