THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS

CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1910 (INCLUSIVE)

This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’. In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, “R. to Academy dinner” clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case – it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But “Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes’s” probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., “Mrs. Kipling leaves”, without any indication of when she had come – but if it’s not in the ‘Extracts’ (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event.

Another factor is that Carrington quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification. We assume that he recorded it, with a view to mentioning the subject in the text of the biography, but either changed his mind or edited it out for some reason. In some cases, later biographers have picked up the reference, and explained it. In those cases, we have gratefully recorded their identification.
