Autorenporträt

Harriet Ward was a prominent British writer who was well known for her thoughts and work on South African literature. To complete her literature, she lived in the Cape colony for a few years so that she could understand the basic living standards of the people evolving in the colonial region of Southern Africa. With the help of her vast insights she came across various chapters and concepts delved her to write the book The Cape and The Kaffirs. She was born in 1808 completed her studies in France and later got married to John Ward in London. Initially writing about her father, she went on to write reports of battle and daily life in "Kaffirland," as the British called the part of the Cape Colony that stretched from Kaffraria to Albany. Nevertheless, she had a lot of detractors while writing; some saw her as a propagandist for British imperialism, particularly in light of her nonfiction work about colonial South Africa.
