Challenging received opinion and breaking new ground in Kipling
scholarship, these essays on Kipling's attitudes to the First World
War, to the culture of Edwardian England, to homosexuality and to
Jewishness, bring historical, literary critical and postcolonial
approaches to this perennially controversial writer. The
Introduction situates the book in the context of Kipling's changing
reputation and of recent Kipling scholarship. After the
perspectives of Chesterton (1905), Orwell (1942) and Jarrell
(1960), newer contributions address Kipling's approach to the Boer
war, his involvement with World War One, his Englishness and the
politics of literary quotation. Different aspects of Kipling's
relation to India are explored, including the 'Mutiny', Eastern
religions, his Indian travel writings and his knowledge of 'the
vernacular'. This collection, whose contributors include Hugh
Brogan, Dan Jacobson, Daniel Karlin and Bryan Cheyette, is
essential reading for academics and students of Kipling, Victorian
and Edwardian English literature and cultural history. -- .
