This book evaluates the parallels, divergences, and convergences in
the literary legacies of Rudyard Kipling and William Butler Yeats.
Coming 150 years after their birth, the volume sheds light on the
conversational undercurrents that pull together the often
diametrically polar worldviews of these two seminal figures of the
English literary canon. Contextualizing their texts to the larger
milieu that Kipling and Yeats lived in and contributed to, the book
investigates a range of aesthetic and perceptual similarities -
from cultures of violence to notions of masculinity, from creative
debts to Shakespeare to responses to British imperialism and
industrial modernity - to establish the perceptible consonance of
their works. Kipling and Yeats are known to have never
corresponded, but the chapters collected here show evidence of the
influence that their acute awareness of each other's work and
thought may have had. Offering fresh perspectives which make
Kipling's and Yeats's diverse texts, contexts, and legacies
contemporarily relevant, this volume will be of great interest to
scholars and researchers of literature, critical theory,
postcolonial studies, cultural studies, and comparative literature.
