Description

Giants of Literature: Kipling.'However angry or scornful people have been of Kipling's jingoism and his unswerving and sentimental devotion to an unchanging British Empire, few have completely withstood the fascination of his stories. This book explains the public and personal circumstances which shaped the young Rudyard Kipling into a man whose politics were to infuriate all but the most entrenched right-wing Englishmen of his day; but whose imaginative writings was to win the acclaim of many of his fellow authors, including Andrew Lang, G. K. Chesterton and T. S. Eliot. From the wise choice of excerpts from Kipling's own work that are given here, and from the reproduction of photographs of his time, today's readers can also learn something of the India which Kipling knew.'
