Ars versus Ingenium in Colonial South Africa
I want to propose that in the colonial situation the colonising poet associates herself or himself with ars and the colonised poet with ingenium. I will spend most of my time on the Scots/South African colo nial poet Thomas Pringle (1789 – 1834); who will be contrasted with the twentieth century poets, Roy Campbell and Herbert Dhlomo.
