FORTUNA IN THE FREE STATE: AN ANALYSIS OF ROBERT GRENDON’S USE OF FORTUNA IN HIS EPIC PAUL KRUGER’S DREAM
Abstract
This article will analyse the spectacle of Fortuna’s appearance to Paul Kruger at two crucial points in Grendon’s 1901 epic and explore the key role she plays in the development of the narrative. Robert Grendon was the son of a Herero woman and an Irish trader in the then South West Africa and he was educated at Zonnebloem College. He taught at Edendale College among other places and was tutor to the young King Sobhuza of Swaziland. Paul Kruger’s dream is one of the many works of Grendon’s which were published.
