Kipling Reviews

'Adams's chronicle is an important study of one of England's literary heroes. He 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
