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 growing interest among critics regarding the tension between the literary pleasures of Kipling's writing and his controversial political views. Author Peter Havholm examines Kipling's perspectives on empire and humanity by analyzing evidence from Anglo-Indian and Indian newspapers during the 1870s and 1880s. This research provides a fresh explanation for the author's shift after 1891 toward fantasy and stories intended for children. By combining detailed contextual knowledge of British India with sensitive analysis, this book helps readers understand the historical forces that shaped one of the most debated writers in history. It is an essential resource for students and scholars studying children's literature, history, and literary criticism.
