PHENOMENOLOGY OF SPACE AND TIME IN RUDYARD KIPLING’S KIM: UNDERSTANDING IDENTITY IN THE CHRONOTOPE by DANIEL SCOTT PARKER Under the Direction of LeeAnne Richardson ABSTRACT This thesis intends to investigate the ways in which the changing perceptions of landscape during the nineteenth century play out in Kipling’s treatment of Kim’s phenomenological and epistemological questions of identity by examining the indelible influence of space— geopolitical, narrative, and imaginative—on Kim’s identity. By interrogating the extent to which maps encode certain ideological assumptions, I will assess the problematic issues of Kim’s multi-faceted identity through an exploration of

THE GREY FAIRY BOOK by Various
THE GREY FAIRY BOOK By Various Edited by Andrew Lang Preface The tales in the Grey Fairy Book are derived from many countries— Lithuania, various parts of Africa, Germany, France, Greece, and other regions of the world. They have been translated and adapted by Mrs. Dent, Mrs. Lang, Miss Eleanor Sellar, Miss Blackley, and Miss hang. 'The Three Sons of Hali' is from the last century 'Cabinet des Fees,' a very large collection. The French author may have had some Oriental original before him in parts; at all events he copied the Eastern method of putting tale within tale, like the Eastern balls of carved ivory. The stories, as usual, illustrate the method of popular fiction. A certain number of incidents are shaken into many varying combinations, like the fragments of coloured glass in the kaleidoscope. Probably the possible combinations, like possible musical combinations, are not unlimited in number, but children may be less sensitive in the matter of fairies than Mr. John Stuart Mill was as regards music. Donkey Skin There was once upon a time a king who was so much beloved by his subjects that he thought himself the happiest monarch in the whole world, and he had everything his heart could desire. His palace was filled with the rarest of curiosities, and his gardens with the sweetest flowers, while in the marble stalls of his stables stood a row of milk-white Arabs, with big brown eyes. Strangers who had heard of the marvels which the king had collected, and made long journeys to see them, were, however, surprised to find the most splendid stall of all occupied by a donkey, with particularly large and drooping ears.

Bairister-at-Law. LONDON THE BOOKMAN'S JOURNAL 173, FLEET STREET, E.C.4. NEW YORK JAMES F. DRAKE. INC. 1922 z f\5as oz^l — PREFACE To the fact that in the course of many years I gathered tog-ether what became known as the most comprehensive collection of the writings of Rudyard Kipling, and to the fact that no-one has compiled an exhaustive bibliography of these writings is due this work. How great has been the need for a full and up to date bibliography of Kipling's works needs no telling. From Lahore to London and from London to New York his various publishers have woven a bibliographical maze such as surely can hardly be paralleled in the literature about literature. The present attempt—the first which has been made in England, so far as I know, on any extensive scale—to form a detailed guide to this bibliographical maze is necessarily tentative; and despite all errors and omissions, for which, as a mere tyro, I crave indulgence, I trust that the following pages will provide not only a handy record for collectors of the writings of our great imperialist poet and novelist, but a basis for the fuller and more perfect work, which the future will bring forth.

We in the West are not so logical. We do not punish the tutor for the pupil's misdeeds, and, on the other hand, those of us who escape the gallows are apt to forget to what extent our escape is due to the men who educated us. I wonder how many of the thousands of ' Old Blues ' who have passed through your class-room realise how great is the debt they owe you. Most of us knew you first as the dread Pluto of the Detention School. Without the care that in that capacity you lavished on us we should probably all be worse men than we are.

Kipling's Works in the Russian Twentieth Century Retranslations
TranscUlturAl, vol. 12.1 (2020), 140-156. http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/TC “Once, Twice and Again!” Kipling’s Works in the Russian Twentieth Century Retranslations Natalia Kamovnikova St. Petersburg And a wolf stole back, and a wolf stole back To carry the word to the waiting pack, And we sought and we found and we bayed on his track Once, twice and again! Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book Introduction Throughout the 20th century, Rudyard Kipling and his works attracted the attention of the Russian readership despite social change, political disapproval of Kipling, and the Soviet ban on most of the writings of the “bard of imperialism” in the 1930–70s. In the context of the political and social constraints, the Russian readership, however, had good access to some parts of The Jungle Book and a certain degree of access to Kipling’s poetry. This article will dwell upon two co- existing tendencies displayed by retranslations of the works by one and the same author (Kipling) in the same cultural and temporal location (Russia, 20th century). The first tendency is demonstrated by the retranslations of The Jungle Book; it consists in the change of the target audience and the constant growth of the gap between the original and every subsequent retranslation. As we shall see, the angle of divergence of retranslations from the original text was such that retranslations started to be perceived as inborn cultural elements, which gave grounds to further reinterpretations. The other tendency is demonstrated by the retranslations of Kipling’s poetry, which were affected by the expectations of the target audience, political and social conditions in the country, as well as the protest moods which some translators were guided by.
