Re: H. Rider Haggard......;-} mnmuench, H. Rider Haggard's "She" -- quite a study in the Victorian Man's growing fear of Woman at the "fin de siŠcle". After all... hmmmm... women wanted to ride bicycles despite the protests of doctors and scholars who said it was outrageous and unhealthy. And they were going to universities...and heaven forbid...some were becoming doctors....and...oooooohhhh...they even wanted the power to vote!!! "She" embodies all of the dangers of the female species running rampant in the world... a dominant woman with a host of male servants who quake in her presence...ruling over a kingdom, or shall we say "queendom" in the heart of Africa... that place of darkness and perversity (LOL!). But watch out!! ...despite her seeming innocence, "She" is Eve and the Serpent in one... with her long dark hair, slithering movement, and golden snake girdle about her waist.... fantastic imagery and hilarious similies...;-} I don't want to ruin the ending for you...so I won't tell you how typically "Victorian" this book is. However, it is great stuff for cultural studies and discourse analysis... LOL!!! Croc ;-}
