He

A sharp and witty parody from the late 19th century, Andrew Lang's "HE" offers a satirical take on H. Rider Haggard's popular adventure novel, "She." This clever work of literary criticism playfully dissects and reimagines Haggard's themes and narrative style, offering a humorous counterpoint to the original.

More than just a simple imitation, "HE" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Haggard's work while simultaneously poking fun at its conventions. Lang's skill as a writer and critic shines through in this engaging and thought-provoking piece, providing a unique perspective on a beloved classic.

A fascinating example of literary satire, "HE" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literary criticism, humorous fiction, or the works of H. Rider Haggard. This carefully prepared print edition allows readers to rediscover this often-overlooked gem of Victorian parody.
