The Novels of D. O. Fagunwa is a detailed study and assessment of literary works of D. O.Fagunwa.

D. O. Fagunwa was not only a pioneer of creative writing in Yoruba but also the foremost novelist in the language. This study is the first critical examination of his work, and includes chapters on the background, influences and the narrative tradition of Fagunwa’s work as we;; as pm the themes, technique and the language of his novels.

The book has been written in English, and translations of the examples from the novels have been given, also in English, in order to make it accessible to a wider audience, including those not primarily concerned with Yoruba literature, but who are interested in traditional African literature and the way it has influenced African writing in English, or in the general field of comparative literature. The illustrative texts taken from the novels are quoted in their original form, except for the addition of tone marks where necessary. All page references are to the Nelson editions of the novels.
