Sir H Rider Haggard

The Wizard Sir H Rider Haggard

The Wizard is a novel by Henry Rider Haggard, first published by Longmans, Green, and Co., in 1896. The Wizard is one of the many examples of imperialist literature. According to Rebecca Stott, author of the article "The Dark Continent: Africa as Female Body in Haggard's Adventure Fiction," Haggard's fiction is still popular today and attempts to expose a "cultural and historical definition of white masculinity at its most rugged and its most terrified".
