Sarah ANYANG AGBOR’S text is a conceptual, historical and functional examination of Commonwealth Literature. The text comes across as a nice way to review some of the essential conceptual and historical development of Commonwealth literature. This text will be of special interest for students in Commonwealth studies.The work responds to two ways of looking at Commonwealth literature.
