About this book
In an era marked by colonial ambition and exploration, "Jasper Lyle" by Harriet Ward captures the essence of adventure in the untamed landscapes of Kafirland. This mid-19th century novel intricately weaves the lives of two English officers, Major Frankfort and Mr. Ormsby, as they navigate both the wild terrain and their own moral dilemmas during a shooting expedition. With vivid descriptions of the natural world and a keen eye for character development, Ward invites readers to reflect on themes of duty and camaraderie. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative offers a unique lens on colonial attitudes and the complexities of human relationships amid the backdrop of exploration.
