A Survey of African Poetry in the London Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times, the Times Literary Supplement 1865-1985

B. A. Young reviews Wole Soyinka's play The Lion and the Jewel at the Royal Court: "This is Wole Soyinka taking a satirical look at his own people again, and very delightfully he does it... I suspect diehard African Nationalists may think him wrong in this, since he is adulterating the pure African culture with an alien element; the rest of us may thank him for opening up this particular source of good-natured entertainment."
