Victorian Imagination
Dr. Ramirez


Write for 10-12 minutes on Haggard's use of time in She. Think specifically about pre-historic or geological time and historic time.

Review of text:
The plank connects the geological world and recorded time
The plank falls, cutting off the expedition from civilization
Spirit of life assumes a phallic shape
She recollects Amenartas's curse (the invocation of all her Egyptian
gods: Isis, Seth, Osiris)
She becomes more "tame" with her vow 285
Discovery of the fountain of life
She ages, becomes smaller, crinkled
Job's presentiment is realized
Leo and Holly jump across the abyss; the entry to the spirit of the
world is closed to humankind
