- 935: King Solomons Mines
- ... unwarranted and unwanted social and literary criticism. In that, he makes certain that he reaffirms his intentions of entertainment rather than controversy. In addition, despite Haggard s prevalent use of juxtaposition throughout the novel its effect often seems more in the amplification of details rather than in the desire for an elaborate interpretation. When we, as readers, see Sir Henry Curtis and Umbopa juxtaposed together as those of equal stature and ... Solomonic civilization. It is this foundation that once again reasserts the social basis for the Kukuanas appearing as magnificently and more notably as intelligently as they do.
