Abstract: This paper aims at employing the New historicism theory in analyzing J. A. Annobil’s Abotar. The New Historicism theory, as propounded by Stephen Greenblatt, is based on the idea that a literary composition is affected by the author’s time and circumstances, however, the critic’s evaluation of the work is also affected by his surroundings, beliefs, or preconceptions. The Analysis of J. A.. Annobil’s Abotar captures how a writer’s literary composition mirrors his/her milieu. On citing instances from the text, Ghanaian culture (specifically Akan) and aspects of Ghanaian history are well demonstrated and explained
