Kipling by Jad Adams
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was the greatest writer in a Britain that ruled the largest empire the world has known, yet he was always a controversial figure, as deeply hated as he was loved. This accessible biography aims at an understanding of the man behind the image and gives an explanation of his enduring popularity.
'Adams's chronicle is an important study of one of England's literary heroesHe tries to overturn preconceptions that the reader may hold about Kipling and the common perception of him as imperialist, misogynist and racist.' FT Magazine 'an enjoyably confrontational biography. Adams identifies Kipling's self-deception as mirrored in the self-deception of the empire whose values he promoted in life and literature.' The Times
