This essay argues that H. Rider Haggard's early and most successful imperial romances, King Solomon's Mines (1885) and She (1886–87), can best be understood in relation to the contemporaneous discourse of international law. Reading the novels alongside the reports of Travers Twiss, the British jurist who gave legal form to the colonial exploits of King Leopold II of Belgium, the essay finds the imperial romance bidding for the juridically expansive plans of the new imperialism. Both novels thus discard the conventional divisions of imperial thought—the binaries between metropole and colony, self and other—insisting instead on universalist visions of order.
