The Induna's Wife
1898
The Induna's Wife, published in 1898 by Bertram Mitford, is the third novel in a tetralogy centered on the Zulu peoples. The story follows the Zulu warrior Untúswa, who, after rising to chief induna under the Matabele king Umzilikazi, faces political intrigue and supernatural challenges as he flees to join Zulu king Dingane amidst internal and external threats. Notable for its blend of adventure, romance, and Gothic horror, the novel critiques imperialist attitudes and reflects the historical context of the late 19th century South Africa, shortly after the Matabele rebellion. This edition includes an introduction and notes by scholar Gerald Monsman.
