  • 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.

  • Lockwood Kipling: Arts and Crafts in the Punjab and London Supported by the Friends of the V&A 14 January – 2 April 2017 Admission Free Vam.Ac.Uk/Kipling
    News Release Lockwood Kipling: Arts and Crafts in the Punjab and London Supported by the Friends of the V&A 14 January – 2 April 2017 Admission free vam.ac.uk/kipling The Victoria and Albert Museum has collaborated with the Bard Graduate Center, New York, to present the first exhibition exploring the life and work of Lockwood Kipling (1837 – 1911), an artist, teacher, curator and influential figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. Lockwood Kipling was a social campaigner for the preservation of Indian crafts, a craftsman whose terracotta panels can still be seen on the exterior of the V&A and was an illustrator of books by his son, the renowned writer Rudyard Kipling. Lockwood Kipling: Arts and Crafts in the Punjab and London explores the history of the V&A’s collections through the life of Lockwood Kipling who played a significant role in shaping the foundation collection. Highlights include paintings of the Indian section of the Great Exhibition, Lockwood Kipling’s own sketches of Indian craftspeople observed during his time living in India, objects he selected in India for the V&A, designs and illustrations for books, and furniture designed for royal residences Bagshot Park and Osborne. Lockwood Kipling, born in Yorkshire in 1837, began his career as a designer and architectural sculptor. At a young age he was inspired by a visit to the 1851 Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace where he saw Indian objects that were later purchased as part of the founding collections of the V&A. The exhibition includes some of these best examples of Indian craftsmanship displayed there such as a bracelet of enamelled gold set with diamonds, a purple woven silk prayer carpet and a sword and helmet.

  • New Orleans Nostalgia Ned Hemard’S Weekly Column Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    New Orleans Nostalgia Ned Hemard’s Weekly Column Remembering New Orleans History, Culture And Traditions Rudyard Kipling, born in Bombay, India, is famous for his works “The Jungle Book”, “Kim”, “Gunga Din” and “Just So Stories”. In 1909, his inspirational poem “If” was published. Like Polonius’ advice to Laertes, it too is advice to a son. What follows is a New Orleans slant to the poem, addressed to both men and women (young and old): If, New Orleans Style If you can chill when leaders try to fool us And you love still this Crescent we call home; If you enjoy pronouncing Tchoupitoulas Or cheering when the Saints are in the Dome; If you eat crawfish drenched in Creole seas’nin’ While listenin’ to a soulful Toussaint tune; If dieting has made you lose all reas’nin’ So you have to live on sno-balls every June; If you can down a king-sized muffaletta At Central Grocery one fine afternoon; If you believe Maurice was simply not a Winning name for mayor compared to Moon; If Rock ‘n’ Bowl is where you rock and bowl in And Lenfant’s was the place you went to pet; If K-Doe used to get you rock and rollin’ And the Fairgrounds always was a lucky bet; If it’s alligator pear, not avocado; If it’s Parasol’s without a drop of a rain; If it’s NOMA now when once it was Delgado; If we once belonged to France and then to Spain; If Camellia Grill is where you’ve done some waiting For omelets, burgers or a chocolate freeze, And Bali Hai was just the spot for dating (On that point almost everyone agrees); If your Coliseum’s void of gladiators; If you’ve weathered

  • Empathy in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations By
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 1-31 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Empathy in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling and Aldren Watson Norman Arthur Fischer Kent State University (Retired), Kent, Ohio, USA Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books depict empathy in the animal and animal-human world, and the illustrations of Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, and the American artist and prolific illustrator, Aldren Watson, help depict that empathy. Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast and Man in India of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound (O/B) editions. A variation on Lockwood’s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson’s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Books, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three.
