Abstract
Children's Literature of the Nineteenth Century was often used to
promote imperialist or nationalist ideas, as is evident in H. Rider Haggard's
novel King Solomon's Mines. This paper examines Haggard's personal
convictions and their manifestation in his narrative with regards to
colonialism and imperialism in Africa. It deals with the image of the
superstitious, ignorant savages contrasted with the effects of imperialism
on the noble savages.
