Please use the Missing Texts form if you know a primary text that does not appear in the table below but that meets the following critiera:
primary text written by a Liberian author (incl. diaspora authors);
primary text centrally concerned with Liberia;
secondary source that is particularly useful and/or relevant to the study of Liberian Literature.

|
1. Autobiography & Memoir
|
4. Essays & Speeches
|
7. Novel
|
|
2. Children's Literature
|
5. Folklore & Oral
|
8. Poetry
|
|
3. Drama*
|
6. Letters & Travel Writing
|
9. Short Story
|
* "Drama" also includes radio plays, which have long been an important genre in Liberia.
