Written as a story of imagination, infused with mysticism, supernatural, and occultism, She also dramatizes nineteenth-century historical, cultural, and anthropological features through the exploration of the existential doubts fostered by scientific progress, the complex issue of British Imperial authority, the ethical themes of good and evil, and the Woman Question. By approaching She under a variety of perspectives, the essays examine the diversity of its cultural background and establish important interpretative landmarks, confirming the hermeneutical fertility of this fiction of adventure. Contributions by Patrick Brantlinger, Stephen Coan, Norman Etherington, Gerald Monsman, Patricia Murphy, Andrew Stauffer, Lindy Stiebel, Tim Wheelhouse, Tania Zulli.
