dc.description.abstract	In this dissertation theme and expression are examined. It comprises six chapters. Chapter I, the introduction, outlines aim of study, and explains "theme" and "expression". It focuses on the influences of the biography and milieu of H.M.L. Lentsoane and his contributions to the development of Northern Sotho poetry. Chapter II examines themes on love and family life. Its focus is marital status, the importam;e of a child in the family, and divorce. Chapter III, themes on women, concentrates on black beauty, responsibilities of modern African women, their strife for parity with men, and misbehaviour. Chapter IV examines social problems: evils of money, juvenile delinquency, abuse of intoxicating drinks and child-sex. Chapter V covers protest themes: influx control, removals and their evil consequences, and the equality of all people before God. The General Conclusion, Chapter VI, summarises our observations and recommendations with reference to Lentsoane's poetry.	en
