Edition originale Signé
Etat : Very good. Stunning issue of the first African literary periodical in English - this copy signed by Nobel laureate Soyinka, periodic editor of individual BLACK ORPHEUS issues since 1959 and executive committee member alongside Chinua Achebe, Leopold Senghor, Alex La Guma, et al. This Nigeria-based little magazine forged a global readership for anglophone African writing. BLACK ORPHEUS was founded in 1957 by Ulli Beier, a German-Jewish lecturer at Ibadan University, with a strong editorial board that would include some of the most influential modern African writers, such as Aimé Césaire, Chinua Achebe, and Leopold Senghor. Among the editors of individual issues were Es'kia Mphahlele, Abiola Irele, and Wole Soyinka. This issue of BLACK ORPHEUS was co-edited by Ezekiel (later Es'kia) Mphahlele, the South African writer then living in exile who was one of the founders (alongside Beier and Soyinka) of the Mbari Club, the great cultural center for modern African writing with which BLACK ORPHEUS was also connected. Beier and his colleagues read widely in traditional Yoruba folklore, as well as in the modern francophone literature of Négritude. BLACK ORPHEUS reflected both influences, and expanded them. Before the magazine's publication, "it was not widely considered that anglophone black Africa had any modern art or literature" (Benson). Its appearance made an immediate impact, and its vibrant screen-printed covers isolated details of traditional African art forms to produce an immediately recognizable, strikingly modern aesthetic; while the series look was initially designed by Suzanne Wenger, this issue's cover was produced by Nigerian artist Jacob Afolabi. BLACK ORPHEUS was a central vehicle for publishing and supporting new African writers; more than half of its material in the early years was written expressly for publication in its pages. Beier argued that "the function of periodicals in nurturing the new literatures in Africa. cannot be overstated. Often they stand at the very beginning of the development of local literature, setting up standards and providing a literary market for buyer and seller - the indigenous reading public and its artist." The book review section that closed each number of BLACK ORPHEUS provided an opportunity for writers to critique a diasporic literature increasingly engaged with the experience and idea of Blackness. In this issue, Una Maclean opens an extensive review of Soyinka's plays with a summary of his appearance at the 1964 Edinburgh Festival, in which Soyinka "regretted the European tendency to expect, from all African dramatists, either a reiteration of the theme of racial conflict or a sense of political and social commitment." Few signatures would be more desirable on an issue of BLACK ORPHEUS than Soyinka's. A fantastic copy. 9.75'' x 7.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers with design by Jacob Afolabi. Illustrated with full-page black and white images and vignettes. 62, [2] pages. Signed by Soyinka to Table of Contents. Light edgewear and rubbing to wrappers, very faint central crease to front wrapper. One page with a few minute smudges of paint, else clean, bright, firm.
