She

The book 'She - The History of Adventure, a novel by the English writer H. Rider Haggard, published in book form in 1887. After serializing in The Graphic Magazine from October 1886 to January 1887. It was incredibly popular at the time of publication and never got printed.The story is the story of the first person after the journey of Horace Holly and his boss Leo Vincey into a lost kingdom in an African interior. They represent a primitive indigenous race and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha, who rules as the almighty "she" or "she who must be obeyed". Haggard created many of the conventions of the lost world genre that were imitated by many authors.Haggard was "part of a literary reaction against domestic realism called the Revival of Romanticism." Other writers on this trend were Robert Louis Stevenson, George MacDonald, and William Morris. Haggard was inspired by his experience of living in South Africa for seven years (1875-82) while working at the highest level of the British colonial administration. Like many of her works, she is a clear example of what is known today as "imperialist literature". History contains the concepts of race and evolution, in particular the concepts of degeneration, racial decay and purity, which were observed in the late Victorian period and in the beginning of the century - ideas whose influence would shape the 20th century.In 19th century England, Haggard and other works such as G.A. Twenty - swallowed by a capricious audience that children entered. Her painting in the novel explored the themes of female authority and female behavior.Henry Ryder Haggard's film: She: The Story of Adventure, which ultimately deals with the social landscape of Britain, acts as a misogynistic weapon in an attempt to prevent the progressive development of early First Wave feminism.The story of Leo Vinci and Holly meeting a brave and powerful Ayesha is driven by a cultural agenda that goes against the notion of a woman with political power. They see themselves as the bearers of such a story; the novel is positioned as deeply committed of the patriarchal and oppressive status quo in Britain.She has been adapted for the cinema at least eleven times, beginning with the 1899 short film The Pillar of Fire, directed by Georges Méliès, followed by another short film directed by Edwin S. Porter in 1908.The novel begins with such a widespread attack on early feminism, and also acts as an opponent of two great philosophical figures, John Stuart Mill and Josephine Butler.The story is one of the most important texts of imaginative literature and had a lasting impact on the fantasy genre, directly giving rise to the 'lost civilization' tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the creation of mythologized locations such as Shangri-la.She has become so well known that the novel also had influence outside of the world of fantasy literature.
