From Dolly Gray To Sarie Marais – Michael Rice (Signed by author)

– The Boer War In Popular Memory –

“From Dolly Gray to Sarie Marais” is about popular literature (the equivalent perhaps of our airport paperbacks) and the insights it gives to the world beyond its pages. Like most modern wars, the Boer War spawned its own brand of escapist fiction. In these stories writers have revealed their ideological positions on the war, their social and racial prejudices. Boer War fiction represents a rich source for those interested in not only the literary and cultural history of turn of the century South Africa, but also the eroding traditions of the British Empire.
