Without his splendid teaching and scholarly corrections, my initial ideas could not have advanced to their final shape. I am sincerely thankM for Professor Monsman's command of the subject and open-mindedness for new ideas. Without those very qualities in my advisor, my cherished desire to present Tagore and Kipling could not have materialized. I could never have picked up the many threads that evidendy come together in this dissertation. I especially thank Professor Roger Bowen for his unslacking interest in my expUcation of cross-cultural ideas in the process of writing. Professor Wilham Epstein deserves credit for challenging my awareness about the theoretical implications of my topic. Professor Suresh Raval has been extremely helpful in explaining the theories. As members of my dissertation committee, I could not have hoped for a better group of teachers. I also thank the Department of EngUsh for the diversity of intellectual fermentation it provided during my stay as a graduate student.

References: Primary and Secondary 413 ABSTRACT Gender is given a new definition that differs fi-om the feminist conceptualization of the issue in this study of selected short stories by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) and Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). In the colonial ordering or pervasive power mechanism, gender regulates all men and all women. Gender is just as manifest in race, class, rank, manners, and beliefs as it is in sexual ordering. My new coinage of the term "genderization" is defined as an enforcement of power relationships and indicates either a negative or positive effect on society within colonial practices. Literature seen as an avenue of creative genderization leads to a fresh assessment of Kipling and Tagore. Despite a history of divisive practical conditions and a negative discursive heritage, a creative and conciliatory transformation of gender is contained within the short fiction of Kipling and Tagore. Indispensable in understanding postcoloniahsm, yet not credited for it, Kipling spoke from the forum of the ruling Anglo administration and indirectly undermined the rigid race policy. This author deserves more recognition for the cross- cultural healing gestures within his hidian short stories. Tagore, the first non-European Nobel Prize winner and the father of Indian modernism, spoke in a muted manner to appease the persistent censorship and the hostilities of the orthodox Hindus against his desired modernist reforms. Well known in the West for his lyrical poetry, easily accredited as the 9 spiritual mentor of Gandhi, Tagore is much less understood as a writer who used short story as a positive vehicle of reform. The idea of "stracturation" proposed by Anthony Giddens defines society in three distinct yet interactive structures that cover the practical world (political, economic, bureaucratic, and military), the discursive tradition (religion, literature, media, and education), and the unconscious (myth, music, cultural beliefs). Giddens' kinetic, inclusive, and flexible model helps to elucidate these cryptic short stories written during a transitional period of high imperialism. Biographical and sociopolitical data are intertextually brought together to reveal the subtexts of the short stories. These two dissimilar authors, responding to the great paradigm shift of modernism, nonetheless project an ideal world of rational and material progress in an international global union. 10 Chapter One: The Contexts and Connotations of Gender and Genderization: Honestly, what do Kipling and Tagore have in common? This introduction justifies the coupling together of two eminent authors of the British Empire in wliich the contrast between the imperial and native cultures is thereby laid bare through a reference to the sociohistorical ground of gender production. The complicity of the discursive practices with the material condition is exposed with an analysis of the tradition of literary modernism. Since the two authors adhered to the Enlightenment idea of development, I have sought the help of a broader and more inclusive social theory that revives and modifies the Enlightemnent idea of social progress. In the following pages, the argument revolves around a modified idea of gender and genderization directed by a perspective afforded by Anthony Giddens. This chapter unfolds the three simultaneously

Copyright 2016 Robert Louis Friedman ! ! Abstract This thesis investigates the techniques of Rudyard Kipling and his influence on my “novel of short stories”. How did Kipling advance the short story form over a half-century of experimentation? How did his approaches enliven the reader’s experience to such a degree that his greatest works have remained in print? Beginning in 1888 with Plain Tales From the Hills, Kipling utilized three innovative techniques: the accretion of unrelated stories into the substance of a novel; the use of tales with their fantastical dreamlike appeal (as opposed to standard fictional styles of realism or naturalism) to both salute and satirize characters in adult fiction; and the swift deployment of back story to enhance both the interwoven nature and tale-like feel of the collection.

  • Fuzzy-Wuzzy Rudyard Kipling
    Fuzzy-wuzzy Rudyard Kipling (Soudan Expeditionary Force) We've fought with many men acrost the seas, An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not: The Paythan an' the Zulu an' Burmese; But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot. We never got a ha'porth's change of 'im: 'E squatted in the scrub an' 'ocked our 'orses, 'E cut our sentries up at Sua~kim~, An' 'e played the cat an' banjo with our forces. So 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan; You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man; We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined. We took our chanst among the Khyber 'ills, The Boers knocked us silly at a mile, The Burman give us Irriwaddy chills, An' a Zulu ~impi~ dished us up in style: But all we ever got from such as they Was pop to what the Fuzzy made us swaller; We 'eld our bloomin' own, the papers say, But man for man the Fuzzy knocked us 'oller. Then 'ere's ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' the missis and the kid; Our orders was to break you, an' of course we went an' did. We sloshed you with Martinis, an' it wasn't 'ardly fair; But for all the odds agin' you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square. 'E 'asn't got no papers of 'is own, 'E 'asn't got no medals nor rewards, So we must certify the skill 'e's shown In usin' of 'is long two-'anded swords: When 'e's 'oppin' in an' out among the bush With 'is coffin-'eaded shield an' shovel-spear, An 'appy day with Fuzzy on the rush Will last an 'ealthy Tommy for a year.

  • Textual and Historical Revision in Rudyard Kipling's
    UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma Jackson College of Graduate Studies Something of Himself: Textual and Historical Revision in Rudyard Kipling’s Kim A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH By Lexi Stuckey Edmond, Oklahoma 2008 Abstract of Thesis University of Central Oklahoma Edmond, Oklahoma NAME: Lexi Stuckey TITLE OF THESIS: Something of Himself: Textual and Historical Revision in Rudyard Kipling’s Kim DIRECTOR OF THESIS: Dr. Gladys S. Lewis PAGES: 80 The thesis asks whether Kim, as a fin de siècle novel, helped to bridge the Victorian and Modern periods in British literature, and whether the novel, published at the midpoint of Kipling’s career, stands as a marker of his literary development. This thesis contends that Kim holds significance as both a personal and a national narrative. Each chapter explores a specific aspect of Kim: the text itself, its author, and the historical milieu in which it was composed. My theoretical roots, as detailed in the opening chapter, are in the works of Mikhail Bakhtin and his concept of “novelness,” or the warring centrifugal and centripetal forces that constantly work against each other but ultimately hold the text together. My interpretation of Kim identifies the theme of childhood as the centripetal force and the theme of empire as the centrifugal force. These opposing currents move Kipling forward in his literary life. As he puts the demons of his childhood definitively behind him and offers his final word on India, he uncovers a new thematic source of conflict in his now-complicated belief in the infallibility of the British Empire, a result of his experience in South Africa during the Boer War.

  • Kipling, the Story-Writer
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFO! AT LOS ANGELES SEMICENTENNIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 1868-1918 42 1 6 KIPLING THE STORY-WRITER BY WALTER MORRIS HART UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS BERKELEY 1918 28412 TO A. B. H. VA PREFACE In the course of an attempt to trace the history of the Short- Story in English it came to seem desirable, three or four years ago, to examine with some thoroughness, as the terminus ad quern, the work of Rudyard Kipling. The results of this study were rather fully set forth in the form of notes intended for class-room lectures. Revision and publication of these notes was advised by Professor Bliss Perry of Harvard College and by Professor Charles Mills Gayley of the University of Califor- nia. To these good friends of the writer this little book owes its being. Without their criticisms and suggestions, moreover, it would have been even less worthy than it is of the author with whom it is concerned. To him, to Mr. Kipling himself, thanks are due for gracious permission to take from his works the many illustrative passages with which these pages are adorned.

Pachuau _____________________________________________________________________ ___ This course uses gender as a category of historical analysis, focusing on gendered relationships within medieval Indian society. With women having been rendered largely invisible in history, it seeks to construct history from their vantage-point. This would involve unpacking the concepts of “masculine” and “feminine” in medieval society, how these related to one another, how they constituted society, and a mapping of processes that had a bearing on their relative position during the medieval period of Indian history. The purpose is to demonstrate that such a history is central to building a more complete picture of the evolution of Indian society from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Implicit in this approach is the belief that a gendered perception of history may suggest a paradigmatic shift in the trajectory of medieval Indian historical developments, and perhaps alter current perceptions of the high and low points of this period. 1. Problems and Possibilities in Recovering and Representing the Female Voice Patriarchal ideologies and male hegemony over the creation of knowledge built gender into the construction of medieval sources, both marginalizing and colouring the knowledge of women’s experiences, aspirations and worldviews.
