Book excerpt: Originally published in 1897, "Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland" is a bitterly scathing allegory written about her disillusionment with the politics of Cecil John Rhodes. Schreiner became increasingly involved with the politics of the South Africa, leading her to make influential acquaintances such as Cecil John Rhodes, with whom she eventually became disillusioned and wrote a scathing allegory in his honour. Olive Schreiner (1855–1920) was a South African anti-war campaigner, intellectual, and author most famous for her highly-acclaimed novel “The Story of an African Farm” (1883), which deals with such issues as existential independence, agnosticism, individualism, and the empowerment of women.
