Francis Brett Young (1884-1954) is remembered primarily as a prolific and highly respected novelist of the English Midlands who won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1928. However, he also spent many years in sub-Saharan Africa. His novels set in East Africa and South Africa added a fascinating dimension to his copious literary output. Brett Young also wrote two nonfictional books about African topics. As a novelist of Africa, he had no equal in British literary history. This book contains the first detailed analysis of this fascinating side of his literary artistry. It focuses on his description of diverse indigenous African, European, and other ethnic groups in the two regions but also his representations of the variegated landscape. Francis Brett Young was a unique literary voice whose works about Africa richly deserve the attention of scholars as well as readers interested in serious literature about this continent.
