		Haggard's works are full of action in colorful locations, in which his protagonists find exotic, hidden societies, and encounter many dangers and characters with strange powers.

	Violet Books: Wollheim on Haggard
		That Henry Rider Haggard should have been the one to write this classic would only have been natural, for he was among those young Englishmen who went to Africa during the height of those days of conquest & colonization.
		So that when Haggard, back in London, sitting around his law office with little to occupy his time, was in quest of a novel to write, it is not perhaps strange that these legends worked their spell on him.
		Rider Haggard went on to write many more novels of the ancient past & of explorers who dared to traverse the unknown areas of Africa.

		Haggard also was an agricultural reformer and a servant of the Empire.
		Haggard's works were full of action in exotic locations, and although they first were written for adults, several of them belong now to the juvenile literature.
		Hints of Haggard's fin-de siècle pessimism and the stresses of his private life - although married to another, he lived for years close to the woman he had always loved - have undermined straightforward interpretations of the author's work.

	Violet Books: Haggard bibliography
		Since the revisions were to subdue what Rider came to believe were passages that could be mistaken as anti-marriage, the revisions should probably be regarded as bowlderizing rather than improvements, though that's a hard call to make.
		None of the illustrations were included in the UK edition at Haggard's request, as he apparently disliked them though he said only that he thought they would detract from a story of which he was particularly proud.
		Rider had been an avid hunter until an encounter with the ghost of a beloved hound convinced him animals had souls & their lives were as sacred as those of humanity.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #26: H. Rider Haggard
		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.
		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.
		Haggard was to return to this lost-civilization-adventure formula several times, and with increasing skill.

	H. Rider Haggard on the Imperial Frontier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rider Haggard on the Imperial Frontier, the first book-length study of H.R.H.'s African fiction, revises the image of Rider Haggard (1856—1925) as a mere writer of adventure stories, a brassy propagandist for British imperialism.
		Haggard mined his characters both from the ore of real-life Africa and from the depths of his subconscious, giving expression to feelings of cultural conflict, probing and subverting the dominant economic and social forces of imperialism.
		Rider Haggard on the Imperial Frontier will be of interest to readers of imperial history and biography, “lost race” and supernatural literature, tales of terror, and heroic fantasies.

	Works by H. Rider Haggard - An Appreciation by Robert Weinberg
		When I was fifteen, back in 1961, I tried reading several books by classic adventure author, H. Rider Haggard, but my mind wasn't ready for the slower pace of the novels, the huge amount of background and description, and the casual way fantasy fit into the story.
		On the shelf were a half dozen Haggard titles, new editions with white dust jacket spines and colorful illustrations on the cover.
		After having written two fairly mundane melodramas and one highly regarded non-fiction book on Africa, Haggard bet his brother he could write an adventure novel as good as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, which, at the time, was extremely popular in England.

		A runaway bestseller on its publication in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She is a Victorian thrill ride of a novel, featuring a lost African kingdom ruled by a mysterious, implacable queen; ferocious wildlife and yawning abysses; and an eerie love story that spans two thousand years.
		More importantly, Haggard has carefully thought through the various aspects of his lost civilization, for instance how the elaborate design of the city of Kôr eventually caused the destruction of its people.
		Rider Haggard wrote many more books, and many are set in places other than Africa.

		The quintessential Rider Haggard hero, Allan Quatermain, embodies Haggard's colonial sentiments: a hunter and adventurer who is nevertheless aware of his prejudices and, for the genre, sympathetic to the cultures he meets.

		I wish that she, like H. Rider Haggard, could get some value out of continuing to be "known," if only in the psyche of another appreciative writer.
		All serious writers, living and dead, as Haggard said, serve the Muse in one form or another, since the psyche itself is eternal.
