7 Preface The most recent version of this study appeared in Since then Achebe has published a political diagnosis of his country, The Trouble with Nigeria (1983); a collection of essays, Hopes and Impediments (1988); and after a gap of many years, a major new novel, Anthills of the Savannah (1987). Writing about his work has continued apace. In response, I have extended the Introduction to trace Ache be's developing ideas of the role of the writer and critic in Africa; included a new chapter on Anthills of the Savannah; revised the Conclusion; and brought the Bibliography up to date. All references to Achebe's works are to the following editions, published by Heinemann: Things Fall Apart (1958), No Longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (second edition, 1974), A Man of the People (1966), Beware, Soul Brother (1972), Girls at War and Other Stories (1972), Morning Yet on Creation Day (1975), The Trouble with Nigeria (1984), Anthills of the Savannah (1987), Hopes and Impediments (1988). The spelling 'Igbo' is used throughout to refer both to Achebe's people and language, except in quotations where the form 'lbo' will occasionally be found. This is in accordance with Achebe's own practice where, in his later writing, he implies that the former is the indigenous, the latter the non-african usage. I wish to record my gratitude to the University of Toronto for its generous assistance during the original writing of this study; to the University of Lancaster for more recent help; and to Chinua Achebe for kindly providing information for the Chronology. I thank again Paul Edwards of the University of Edinburgh, that committed Africanist, for his encouragement during our years at Fourah Bay College, Freetown. David Carroll University of Lancaster vii
