  • Kipling and the Dialect of the Tribe
    Dennis Duffy KIPLING AND THE DIALECT OF THE TRIBE No EXTE"SIVE STUDY of Kipling is necessary to the realization that much of Kipling's most characteristic work employs dialect in one form or anorher: the Learoyd, Ortheris, and Mulvaney stories, including such major pieces as "On Greenhaw Hill", "The C nurtincr of Dinah Shadd" (bmh in Life's Handi­ cap), and ''His Private H o nour·· (j-fany Inventions); Barrack-Room Ballads; "'M'A11drcw's H ymn'' (Tiu: Seve11 Seas), a work r~v ea ling so much of the author's poetic; "A Walking D elegate"' (The Day's Work)- for most readers too revealing a presentation of the auth or's soci:I! outlook-and ".007" (also in T l1e Da y')· }Vorl\) which, fo r all its c hildi shne~s , is as illuminating an example as any of the K ipling Gospel of Work. These are but a few of the obvious instances of the use of dialect. Most of t.hc cliaracrers in Kim. for example, fail to speak in Srand::ud English, and tn such Indian-narrated tales as ''Dray Wara Yow Dee (In Black md White) and "In the Pre<ence·' (A DIIJen·ity of Creatures), everyone speaks in an elab­ orate. stately manner supposed to approximate native speech in the raw.

  • 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.

    1 1895 THE SECOND JUNGLE BOOK Rudyard Kipling Kipling, Rudyard (1865-1936) - An English novelist, short-story writer, and poet who spent most of his youth in India, and is best known for his children’s classics. In 1907, Kipling was the first English writer ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. The Second Jungle Book (1895) - A sequel to “The Jungle Book.” This volume presents more animal stories for children, many of which again include the jungle boy, Mowgli, as the central character. 2 Table Of Contents HOW FEAR CAME . 3 THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE . 15 THE MIRACLE OF PURUN BHAGAT . 17 A SONG OF KABIR . 28 LETTING IN THE JUNGLE . 29 MOWGLI’S SONG AGAINST PEOPLE . 49 THE UNDERTAKERS . .50 A RIPPLE SONG . 66 THE KING’S ANKUS . 67 THE SONG OF THE LITTLE HUNTER . 80 QUIQUERN . 81 ANGUTIVUN TINA . 99 RED DOG . 100 CHIL’S SONG . 118 THE OUTSONG . 134 3 HOW FEAR CAME The stream is shrunk- the pool is dry, And we be comrades, thou and I; With fevered jowl and dusty flank Each jostling each along the bank; And by one drouthy fear made still Forgoing thought of quest or kill. Now ‘neath his dam the fawn may see, The lean Pack-wolf as cowed as he, And the tall buck, unflinching, note The fangs that tore his father’s throat. The pools are shrunk- the streams are dry, And we be playmates, thou and I, Till yonder cloud- Good Hunting!- loose The rain that breaks our Water Truce. The Law of the Jungle- which is by far the oldest law in the world- has arranged for almost every kind of accident that may befall the Jungle People, till now its code is as perfect as time and custom can make it.
