Writers whose work reflects the experience of empire betray the
anxieties and contradictions at the heart of the imperial
enterprise. Zohreh T. Sullivan's reading of Rudyard Kipling's
writings about India expands our sense of colonial discourse and
recovers the cultural context and recurring tropes in his early
journalism and fiction, in Kim, and in his late autobiography. She
charts the fragmentation of Kipling's position as child, as
colonizer and as 'poet of empire', finding in his representation of
childhood's loss the site of repressed and disavowed desires and
fears that resurface in later work. In using Kipling's troubled
intimacy with empire as the link between history and narrative,
Sullivan sees in Kipling's ambivalence his negotiation between the
desire for union with his golden 'best-beloved' India and the
historic imperatives of separation from it.
