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.

  • Kipling, the Story-Writer
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFO!

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.

  • Plain Tales from the Hills As Emergent Literature
    Plain Tales from the Hills as Emergent Literature Inna Lindgrén, Åbo Akademi University When Rudyard Kipling made his literary debut in India in the late 1880’s, there had been semi-permanent British settlement in India for well over a hundred years. These Anglo-Indians1 had started to be aware of themselves as a community separate from the British in Britain, but their links with Britain were very strong. Most of them had been born British, and were likely to retire back to Britain when their term of office came to an end. Usually they were also prepared to make considerable sacrifices to send their children to Britain for an education which would prevent them from seeing India as their true home. On the other hand, many Anglo-Indians felt that the politicians and ruling class back in Britain looked down on them as poor cousins, whose views on Imperial politics were not worth having. In and of itself, this love-hate relationship with Britain was enough to ensure that the Anglo-Indian literary market was a complex one. There was actually a widespread feeling that the Anglo-Indian community had not produced literary talent proportionate to its size. Such dissatisfaction was voiced on several occasions between 1856 and 1861 in the pages of the Calcutta Review, where the main problem was diagnosed as writers’ reluctance to make use of local conditions and materials. In the words of one commentator, Anglo-Indian literature, “as far as the subjects treated of are concerned, [...] might as well have been written in London by one who had never crossed the Channel”.2 On the other hand, Anglo-Indian writers publishing in Britain had little hope of success if they dealt with daily life in India too exclusively.
