A literary critique is presented for the 1893 English adventure novel "Montezuma's Daughter," by H. Rider Haggard, focusing on its engagement with themes of trauma on the personal-emotional and national levels. Topics addressed include biographical history contextualizing Haggard's writing of the novel, psychoanalytical perspectives on the novel and the author, and literary assertions of collective identity and guilt surrounding the fall of the Aztec empire.
