The romance as rhetorical dissociation: The purification of imperialism in king Solomon's mines

Pages 259-269 | Published online: 05 Jun 2009
 

Abstract

That the romance can be employed for rhetorical purposes other than reaffirming a culture's values is illustrated by H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines, a romance that purifies imperialism by dissociating its “appearance” as exploitation from its “reality” as the establishment of justice and the resulting transformation of identity.
