Description

Rudyard Kipling : A New Appreciation by Hilton Brown. With A Foreword by Frank Swinnerton. 'Mr, Frank Swinnerton writes in his Foreword: - 'Mr. Hilton Brown's book will remove some misunderstandings and revive critical interest in Kipling. It is not an idolatrous work. It uses both candour and irony in its presentation of the man himself; and ot is new and pungent in its estimates both of the individual pieces and of Kipling's genius as a whole. Moreover it does this very valuable thing. Drawing (as one would expect in a book by a good novelist) a real man, whose faults and incomprehensible idiosyncrasies are inseparable from his character, it shows how Kipling's genius grew our of that man and his extraordinary self-confined experience, whether the scene of that experience were Bombay, Southsea, Westward Ho! Lahore, New England, South Afric, or Sussex.' The dust jacket has much wear but the book remains tight and bright.
