- Summary:
- Rudyard Kipling has been one of the most loved and the most loathed of English writers. "Rudyard Kipling: A Literary Life" is a study of the forces and influences that shaped his work--including his unusual family background, his role as the laureate of Empire, and the deaths of two of his children--and of his complex relations with a literary world that first embraced and then rejected him, but could never ignore him.
