SHE

H. Rider Haggard's novel She is, in many ways, a typical Victorian novel and, as such, it suffers from many of the vices and tropes associated with Victorian novels.   The novel tells of the adventures of L. Horace Holly and Leo Vincey as they travel to the east coast of Africa to track down an ancient legend regarding Vincey's ancestry.   In order to tell their story, Haggard posits a letter delivered to him from Holly, the first indication that this is a Victorian novel.
