Edited sentence: Alongside such unfortunate representations as that cited above, Haggard depicted many of his non-European characters, such as the Zulu warrior Umslopogaas, in the most noble terms.For instance, one might note the first chapter of King Solomon's Mines, in which the narrator Alan Quatermain overtly condemns and refuses to make use of the N-word.However, it should be noted that while undoubtedly a product of his Victorian age, Haggard was by no means one-sided in his portrayals.When compared with other writers of African adventures, such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose later iconic hero Tarzan engages in "black-baiting" for sport, Haggard may indeed seem well ahead of his time
