Description

Explore the complex relationship between literature and empire in Politics and Awe in Rudyard Kipling's Fiction. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work addresses the modern resurgence of interest in Kipling's writing. Peter Havholm examines how critics navigate the tension between the literary pleasures of his fiction and his controversial political views. By analyzing evidence from Anglo-Indian and Indian newspapers from the 1870s and 1880s, Havholm reconstructs Kipling's views on humanity and empire. The book provides a fresh perspective on his transition after 1891 toward fantasy and stories written for children. This study combines detailed historical context of British India with sensitive close readings to offer a deep understanding of one of literature's most debated figures.
