Rudyard Kipling was an english author that wrote short stories and poems. Some of his famous work would include “Just So Stories”, “The Jungle Book” and “Gunga Din” during the 1900’s. (www.biography.com) He was born in Mumbai, India on December 30th, 1865 in the Bombay Presidency of British India, to Alice Kipling (one of the four Victorian sisters) and John Lockwood Kipling. For Kipling, India was a wondrous place. Along with his younger sister, Alice, he explored the local markets with his nanny. He learned the language, and in this diverse city of Anglos, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Jews, Kipling fell in love with the country and its culture. However, Kipling was forced to move to Britain for a better education forced by his mother. Kipling continued studying in Britain until one night we had a nervous breakdown.

Rudyard Kipling was an Indian poet who was born into a family of wealth and prosperity in 1865. He was later sent to live in England when he was five years old to live with a foster family. He did not enjoy his living arrangement in his foster home and the experiences that he went through helped to give him inspiration later on in life in his writings. He later went to college at the age of 12. He is well known in the world of poetry for his use of descriptive imagery and relatability. (Kipling Society) Kipling won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907.Shortly after his death in 1936, his work began a slow decline of being neglected due to his unpopular political views that were very present in his multiple works.

It was 1899 when poet and author Rudyard Kipling issued his famous call to “Take up the White Man 's burden / Send forth the best ye breed” (290). Kipling thought that the culture of predominantly white, Western nations, such as America and England, was superior to foreign cultures. He was an admirer of British imperialism in India, and was a strong advocate for America’s involvement in the Philippines. Kipling earnestly believed that foreign peoples would benefit from the forceful introduction of American culture. This position has, of course, proven to be heavily misguided, and the damaging effects of colonialism are still being felt today in the Global South. The cultural conversion advocated by Kipling, however, did not end as

In the story, an Englishman named Fleete is living in India and is cursed by a mysterious “Silver man” for defiling an Indian statue dedicated to the god Hanuman. As a result, Fleete slowly turns into a wolf, a symbolic representation of the descent into the unknown. Eventually, the narrator and his friend Strickland torture the Silver man into reversing the curse and Fleete returns to his human form. Kipling’s short story relies on two things: the first being India and Indian culture in general can be perceived by a western audience to be wild, dangerous, and frightening. The second point being English power, determination, and strength can prevail in such an environment. Frere’s anthropology is critical in understanding the context Kipling’s work was produced in, as powerful British figures like Frere himself asserted that the English were superior racially and culturally. Frere’s assessment that “uncivilized aborigines” only had value as “village servants, hewers of wood, and drawers of water, as Helots charged to clear away refuse and dead carcasses” (Laws Affecting Civilized and Savage Life 314), demonstrates the belief that Indian subjects, and eastern people in general, were far below the social ladder. This is one of the reasons why Kipling’s short story would be alarming to a British audience, as the accepted status quo was between English and non-English was

“If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.” (Ezra Pound Quotes) Ezra Pound was not a man of many words, but he certainly did have a knack for turning simple words into something beautiful. Pounds’ poetry was influenced by his fascination with Benito Mussolini and the Fascist movement, the time of his stay in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and the concept of Imagism.

In the modern world history, Western countries have mastered a vast part of the world. And this kind of control, based on domination and subordination, aroused mainly from colonialism and imperialism like the power of the British Empire over many colonized countries in the world. Thus, this imperial power had intensively engaged writers’ attention. Among those major writers is Rudyard Kipling. He is a British novelist and poet who was born in British India in 1865 and died in 1963. Though he lived over thirteen years there, the reader finds that his works espouse the imperial ideology and he came to be recognized as a "prophet of the British imperialism"(Orwell 116). And this is well manifested in his poem "The White

In an assessment of Rudyard Kipling’s work, George Orwell claims Kipling is “is a jingo imperialist, he is morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting.” Orwell assesses Kipling’s work as being outdated from a nineteenth-century imperialist outlook that is no longer applicable to modern society. He disclosed Kipling’s lack of knowledge on economic forces giving reason behind Kipling’s stories not syncing with the natural history that took place after. He exposes Kipling’s weaknesses as only being able to write about things that have already happened, confining Kipling as only a writer of his time. Orwell compares Kipling to “a shameful pleasure, like the taste for cheap sweets that some people secretly carry into middle life.” Orwell is not completely critical of Kipling. For example, he believes Kipling appeals to audiences by communicating as the voice of the common man. He writes from the heart and appeals to audiences, not financially, but emotionally. Orwell also finds Kipling’s realistic vision of war to be impressive, since he had not physically been in battle. Furthermore, Orwell defends Kipling against the false allegations of being a Fascist. Orwell claims “ He [Kipling] was further from being one than the most humane or the most ‘progressive’ person is able to be nowadays.” Though it is evident that Kipling’s imperialist viewpoint heavily influences his writing, Orwell’s interpretations of “The White Seal” and

Works of literature are often categorized into genres and considered separately, within their own genre. However, there are merits in comparing works of different categories–writing conventions do not change how works are experienced. Oscar Wilde’s comedic play The Importance of Being Earnest, and William Butler Yeats’s somber poem, “The Wild Swans at Coole,” evoke emotional responses in a reader, and these responses are often shaped by the work itself, culture, and individual experiences.
