E-text prepared by Al Haines "Rudyard Kipling" by John Palmer is a literary analysis written in the early 20th century, exploring the life and works of the renowned author Rudyard Kipling. The book emphasizes Kipling's unique style and thematic focuses, including his fascination with the heroic life and the craftsmanship of storytelling. Through various anecdotes and critiques, Palmer offers insights into Kipling's approach to narrative, particularly in the context of British colonialism and his depictions of India. The opening portion of the text establishes the groundwork for a detailed examination of Kipling’s works. It begins with a story about the encounter between Eustace Cleever, a novelist, and young soldiers, showcasing Kipling's appreciation for the individuals engaged in practical work. Palmer asserts that, while Kipling glorifies active life and tangible accomplishments, he is fundamentally a literary artist, crafting tales that reflect deep understanding and insight. The introduction sets up the thematic exploration of Kipling’s Indian tales, arguing that they are more products of his skilled craftsmanship than genuine interpretations of the country and its people, thus prompting readers to consider the complexity behind Kipling’s narratives and the roles they play in understanding his literary legacy.
