T. J. Harhoff's book recounts the origins and development of the Afrikaans language in South Africa. Of African poetry, critic du Plessis writes, "Afrikaans has still a long way to go before it realizes all the hopes of its ardent supporters: but it has some poets and one or two prose-writers whose measure would not be diminished by European standards. The language is bold, simple, humorous, vital and vigorous, and is sufficiently flexible for any venturesome and inventive writer who wishes to express many shades of thought." du Plessis then quotes from Harhoff's book, in which Harhoff discusses Roy Campbell.
