Contributor Bio(s): Kipling, Rudyard: - Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay. He returned to India from England to work as a journalist. The poems and stories he wrote over the next seven years laid the foundation of his literary reputation, and soon after his return to London in 1889 he found himself world-famous. Throughout his life his works enjoyed great acclaim and popularity, but he came to seem increasingly controversial because of his political opinions, and it has been difficult to reach literary judgements unclouded by partisan feeling. |
