Some aspects of Batswana traditional beliefs as reflected by an intertextual analysis of Mothoagae's poetry

Abstract

In this article, the relationship between D.M. Mothoagae's poetry and that of other Batswana poets is analysed. Mothoagae's poetry is ingested with citations and echoes of and/or allusions to other Setswana poems. The study of relationships between texts is referred to as intertextuality.
