She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard

5.0

---

I assigned this for class again this semester, but for undergraduates. They seemed to find it fascinating and saw all of the interesting connections one can make to other cultural texts of the late nineteenth century. Reading it again was, for me, a good experience. I had taught the book for a couple graduate seminars a few years ago and, alongside the research I was doing, found it getting stale. It didn't feel this way returning to it, and made me feel a bit better about the book chapter on it that I'm trying to write.

Also, this edition by Andrew Stauffer is really great--students will find the illustrations from the initial publication in the _Graphic_ of interest.
