Kipling in India

Kipling in India

This book explores and re-evaluates Kipling’s connection with India its people culture languages and locales through his experiences and his writings. Kipling’s works attracted interest among a large section of the British public stimulating curiosity in their far-off Indian Empire and made many canonize him as an emblem of the ‘Raj’. This volume highlights the astonishing social and thematic range of his Indian writings as represented in The Jungle Books; Kim; his early verse; his Simla-based tales of Anglo-Indian intrigues and love affairs; his stories of the common Indian people; and his journalism. It brings together different theoretical and contextual readings of Kipling to examine how his experience of India influenced his creative work and conversely how his imperial loyalties conditioned his creative engagement with India. The 18 chapters here engage with the complexities and contradictions in his writings and analyse the historical and political contexts in which he wrote them and the contexts in which we read him now. With well-known contributors from different parts of the world – including India the UK the USA Canada France Japan and New Zealand – this book will be of great interest not only to those interested in Kipling’s life and works but also to researchers and scholars of nineteenth-century literature comparative studies postcolonial and subaltern studies colonial history and cultural studies. | Kipling in India

Fiction & the Colonial Experience

Fiction & the Colonial Experience

British colonialism provided a rich vein of material for the novelists of the first half of the 20th century. This study originally published in 1968 looks at five writers and their reaction to the Empire: Rudyard Kipling E. M. Forster Joseph Conrad Joyce Cary and Graham Greene. It shows how the romantic adventure stories of Kipling’s early days in which the indigenous population plays almost no part gave rise to the much more important novels of spiritual and moral conflict in which the stereotyped values of Empire are questioned. The decline of colonialism from its apogee in the 1880s within a relatively short period makes the novels discussed a compact group so that not only is the use of colonial material closely studied but its impact on the novelists themselves emerges clearly. This is an important study of a major literary theme linking modern literature and modern history at a vital point. | Fiction & the Colonial Experience

National Poetry Empires and War

National Poetry Empires and War

Nationalism has given the world a genre of poetry bright with ideals of justice freedom and the brotherhood of man but also at times burning with humiliation and grievance hatred and lust for revenge driving human kind as the Austrian poet Grillparzer put it ‘From humanity via nationality to bestiality’. National Poetry Empires and War considers national poetry and its glorification of war from ancient to modern times in a series of historical social and political perspectives. Starting with the Hebrew Bible and Homer and moving through the Crusades and examples of subsequent empires this book has much on pre-modern national poetry but focuses chiefly on post-1789 poetry which emerged from the weakening and collapse of empires as the idealistic liberalism of nationalism in the age of Byron Whitman D’Annunzio Yeats Bialik and Kipling was replaced by darker purposes culminating in World War I and the rise of fascism. Many national poets are the subject of countless critical and biographical studies but this book aims to give a panoramic view of national poetry as a whole. It will be of great interest to any scholars of nationalism Jewish Studies history comparative literature and general cultural studies.

Geography and the Literary Imagination in Victorian Fictions of Empire The Poetics of Imperial Space

Geography and the Literary Imagination in Victorian Fictions of Empire The Poetics of Imperial Space

In this pioneering study Dr. Fernandez explores how the rise of institutional geography in Victorian England impacted imperial fiction’s emergence as a genre characterized by a preoccupation with space and place. This volume argues that the alliance between institutional geography and the British empire which commenced with the founding of the Royal Geographical Society in 1830 shaped the spatial imagination of Victorians with profound consequences for the novel of empire. Geography and the Literary Imagination in Victorian Fictions of Empire examines Presidential Addresses and reports of the Royal Geographical Society and demonstrates how geographical studies by explorers cartographers ethnologists medical topographers administrators and missionaries published by the RGS local geographical societies or the colonial state acquired relevance for Victorian fiction’s response to the British Empire. Through a series of illuminating readings of literary works by R. L. Stevenson Olive Schreiner Flora Annie Steel Winwood Reade Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling the study demonstrates how nineteenth-century fiction published between 1870 and 1901 reflected and interrogated geographical discourses of the time. The study makes the case for the significance of physical and human geography for literary studies and the unique historical and aesthetic insights gained through this approach. | Geography and the Literary Imagination in Victorian Fictions of Empire The Poetics of Imperial Space

Marxism Postcolonial Theory and the Future of Critique Critical Engagements with Benita Parry

Marxism Postcolonial Theory and the Future of Critique Critical Engagements with Benita Parry

Using the aesthetic and political concerns of Parry’s oeuvre as a touchstone this book explores new directions for postcolonial studies Marxist literary criticism and world literature in the contemporary moment seeking to re-imagine the field and alongside it new possibilities for left critique. It is the first volume of essays focusing on the field-defining intellectual legacy of the literary scholar Benita Parry. As a leading critic of the post-structuralist turn within postcolonial studies Parry has not only brought Marxism and postcolonial theory into a productive albeit tense dialogue but has reinvigorated the field by bringing critical questions of resistance and struggle to bear on aesthetic forms. The book’s aim is two-fold: first to evaluate Parry’s formative influence within postcolonial studies and its interface with Marxist literary criticism and second to explore new terrains of scholarship opened up by Parry’s work. It provides a critical overview of Parry’s key interventions such as her contributions to colonial discourse theory; her debate with Spivak on subaltern consciousness and representation; her critique of post-apartheid reconciliation and neoliberalism in South Africa; her materialist critique of writers such as Kipling Conrad and Salih; her work on liberation theory resistance and radical agency; as well as more recent work on the aesthetics of peripheral modernity. The volume contains cutting-edge work on peripheral aesthetics the world-literary system critiques of global capitalism and capitalist modernity and the resurgence of Marxism communism and liberation theory by a range of established and new scholars who represent a dissident and new school of thought within postcolonial studies more generally. It concludes with the first-ever detailed interview with Benita Parry about her activism political commitments and her life and work as a scholar. | Marxism Postcolonial Theory and the Future of Critique Critical Engagements with Benita Parry
