Lisa María B. Noudéhou’s introductory workbook to literary and rhetorical analysis for East African university students. Covers proverbs, fables, poems, short stories, plays, and essays by African, North American, and European authors. A reference for definitions and examples, and a guide for writing academic literary essays.

Literary and Rhetorical Techniques: Texts for Analysis and Workbook by Lisa María B. Noudéhou provides an introduction to university-level literary study. The book includes a range of texts chosen to represent the genres of the proverb, fable, poem, short story, play, and essay, with authors from Africa, North America, and Europe. As a workbook, it enables students to recognise literary and rhetorical techniques and to develop the skills by which to better understand and enjoy literary study. Once completed in collaboration with the lecturer, the workbook serves as a source of definitions and examples and as a reference for writing academic literary essays. Literature studies in Tanzania and East Africa have in the past paid greater attention to the content than to the literary merit of any given writing. Noudéhou gives students the tools to analyse literary works on their craft, the better to appreciate the art of writing and to enjoy reading fiction.
