HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... LINKS Haggard, H. Rider Biography Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) Prolific English writer, who published colorful novels set in unknown regions and lost kingdoms of Africa, or some other corner of the world: Iceland, Constantinople, Mexico, Ancient Egypt. Haggard's best-known work is the romantic adventure tale KING SOLOMON'S MINES (1885), which was inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's famous Treasure Island . Haggard also was an agricultural reformer and a faithful servant of the British Empire. However, his depiction of other cultures has been considered more complex than was common in contemporary popular romances. "Welcome, white men from the stars," he said; "this is a different sight from what your eyes gazed on by the light of last night's moon, but it is not so good a sight. Girls are pleasant, and were it not for such as these" (and he pointed round him) "we should none of us be here to- day; but men are better. Kisses and the tender words of women are sweet, but the sound of the clashing of men's spears, and the smell of men's blood, are sweeter far! Would ye have wives from among our people, white men? If so, choose the fairest here, and ye shall have them, as many as ye will;" and he paused for an answer.' (from King Solomon's Mines Henry Rider Haggard was born in West Bradenham Hall, Norfolk, as the eight son of William Haggard, a barrister and a country squire, and Ella (Doventon) Haggard, an amateur writer. In his childhood, the young Henry Rider was seen as the family dunce by his father. Haggard was not sent to a good public school like his brothers, but he was educated at a London day-school, although privately, and Ipswich Grammar School. After failing the army entrance, Haggard went in 1875 to Natal as a secretary to Sir Henry Bulwer, Governor of Natal colony. In 1877 he joined the staff of the special commissioner. Next year he became Master and Registrar of the High Court in the Transvaal. For the rest of his life Haggard viewed with understanding the British colonial policy, sharing in this the attitudes of his friend Rudyard Kipling. On the other hand, he also traveled widely and saw the dangers of European intrusion. Thus in the end of

HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... Long Odds Chapter 1 Long Odds by Haggard, H. Rider - Chapter 1 Long Odds by H. Rider Haggard The story which is narrated in the following pages came to me from the lips of my old friend Allan Quatermain, or Hunter Quatermain, as we used to call him in South Africa. He told it to me one evening when I was stopping with him at the place he bought in Yorkshire. Shortly after that, the death of his only son so unsettled him that he immediately left England, accompanied by two companions, his old fellow-voyagers, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good, and has now utterly vanished into the dark heart of Africa. He is persuaded that a white people, of which he has heard rumours all his life, exists somewhere on the highlands in the vast, still unexplored interior, and his great ambition is to find them before he dies. This is the wild quest upon which he and his companions have departed, and from which I shrewdly suspect they never will return. One letter only have I received from the old gentleman, dated from a mission station high up

Nada the Lily She is said to be robed in white, and to take the form of a young maiden, in fact an angel. She is said to appear to some chosen person, to whom she imparts some revelation; but, whatever that revelation may be, it is kept a profound secret from outsiders. I remember that, just before the Zulu war, Nomkubulwana appeared, revealing something or other which had a great effect throughout the land, and I know that the Zulus were quite impressed that some calamity was about to befall them.

Main Page Recent changes Edit this page Page history ... Printable version Not logged in Log in Help H. Rider Haggard From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Sir Henry Rider Haggard June 22 May 14 ), born in Bradenham Norfolk, England , was a Victorian writer of adventure novels set in locations considered exotic by readers in his native England Haggard had some firsthand experience of these locations, thanks to his extensive travels. He first traveled to Natal in 1875, as secretary to the colonial Governor Bulwer. In 1878 he became Registrar of the High Court in the Transvaal, in the region that was to become South Africa . During his time there he was exposed to the Zulu culture, and is said to have had an long-lasting affair with an African woman. However, he was eventually to return to England to find a wife, bringing Mariana Louisa Margitson back to Africa with him as a bride. Returning to England in 188?, the couple settled in Ditchingham Norfolk . Later he lived in Kessingland and had connections with the church in Bungay . He turned to the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1884. His practice of law was somewhat desultory, as much of his time was taken up by the writing of novels.

Belated Reviews #26: H. Rider Haggard Categories change. If Sir Henry Rider Haggard were writing today, some of his books would be marketed as fantasy, others as thrillers, or historical fiction. My own copies of his books are divided about evenly between those reprinted (and shelved) as mainstream novels and those reprinted as fantasy. Haggard wrote adventure fiction. At a time when the unexplored portions of the map were rapidly being filled in, he was populating the remaining mystery areas with the remnants of lost civilizations and lost continents, with ancient lovers chasing each other from incarnation to incarnation, ancient magics and ancient curses. And he was doing this in the 1880s (as well as for the four decades that followed), which is to say that he was *originating* many of these now-common devices. Haggard's books display the paradoxical attractions of the best genre classics: They retain much of their power, wonder, and freshness, but they also have to be appreciated as period pieces which could not have been published had they been written today. Too many conventions have changed. Fair enough: Those are the terms upon which we can appreciate Verne and Wells and Kipling, too. Like their books, those of Henry Rider Haggard can be enjoyed as long as the reader doesn't insist on thinking less of the author for not being born a century later. In Haggard's world, as in Kipling's, nobility, courage, and honor were not the property of any one race but God was definitely English.

Haggard, H. Rider English novelist, colonial administrator, and agriculturist, born in Norfolk. At the age of 19 he went to South Africa and later served in the Transvaal as a master of the high court. Returning to England in 1881, Haggard devoted most of his time to agriculture, on his estate in Norfolk, and to writing novels. His King Solomon's Mines (1885) was an immediate success; its story, suggested by the ruins at Zimbabwe, dealt with the adventures of an English explorer among remote tribes. The characters who appeared in the book were featured in several others, including She (1887), Allan Quatermain (1887), and Ayesha, or the Return of She (1905). In addition to writing more than 40 novels, Haggard was an adviser to the British government on agriculture.
