Description
Summary:	According to this consensus, Haggard and other late-Victorian imperialists also disavowed the commercial aspects of empire, its "material reality" (Katz 108). There has been little analysis of the representation of imperial capitalism in Haggard's other novels, including She-a work that, although less obviously engaged in debate about the commercial nature of empire, interrogates imperial commerce in interestingly self-reflexive ways. [...] the recent emphasis on the formal fissures of imperialist discourse, in Haggard's work and in the romance genre, is sometimes problematic.
