The Sexual Imperative in the Novels of Sir Henry Rider Haggard is a detailed study of the development of the theme of the sexual imperative primarily through the prism of ten of Haggard's novels, a largely unexplored area of his fiction, and also through some of his contemporary romances. Filling an important gap in Haggard scholarship, which has traditionally tended to focus on his early romances and their political and psychological resonances, the book contributes to wider current debates on Victorian and turn-of-the-century literature. This volume explores the relationship between Haggard's fictional rendition of the sexual imperative and aspects of his personal history, proposing that his preoccupation with the subject constitutes, in significant part, an outworking of deeply personal sexual and emotional issues. Relating Haggard's fiction to the literary and social context in which he wrote, Richard Reeve contends that although Haggard's treatment of this theme is not nearly as adventurous as that of some of his literary contemporaries, his repeated consideration of what he regarded as the most important human driver lends his fiction a strength and integrity which has not been fully recognized.

Friends and fellow authors Henry Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling were prominent figures of imperial and colonial myth-making. Both writers were praised by their contemporaries for their alleged knowledge of and ability to speak from within the 'native' cultures of Africa and India. However, both exhibited a fascination with the colonized Other, displaying the striking ways in which the colonizing culture asserts its self-identity and authority. In this highly original and exciting re-reading of the classic works of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low asserts that the Other is actually a mirror reflecting the image of the colonizer - a `cultural cross-dressing'. Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and post-colonial theory, she analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation is caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating new entry into the current debates of post-colonial theory, and will be important reading for students of literary and cultural studies.
