Being Kipling
Author: W. DillinghamPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 023061471X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Being Kipling exposes Rudyard Kipling s identity as he himself perceived it through the lens of a collection of works composed over a period of years and brought together in the volume Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides. Dillingham uses this extraordinary collection, ostensibly put together for the inspiration of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides and frequently ignored by critics and biographers, to offer rare insight into formative events from Kipling s youth that shaped his personality and made him the man and writer that he became. The eight stories, eight poems, and three essays of Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides are all examined closely both for what they reveal about Kipling s life and worldview and for their rarely perceived, but considerable literary merit.
The Man who Would be Kipling
Author: Andrew HagiioannuPublisher: Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN: 9781403920294
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Combining careful textual analysis with lively historical coverage, The Man who would be Kipling suggests that the author's political ideas and narrative modes are more subtly connected with lived experience and issues of cultural environment than has been formerly recognised. Kipling emerges as a writer informed by such global developments as the expansion in technologies of mass production and communications, the consolidation of US imperial power (with its attendant domestic economic and social upheavals), and the dawning realities of postcolonial Britain."--Jacket.
