Kipling, the Story-Writer (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Kipling, the Story-Writer
A point Of view must be arbitrarily established; and, not as a standard of excellence, but rather to insure. The relative com pleteness of the survey, it becomes necessary to offer a kind of definition or description of the short-story. The short-story is, then, to be conceived as having for its distinguishing mark the elaboration in brief and concrete narrative form of all pos sible story elements - of the settings of time, place, and society, of characters, emotions, and motives, of plot, and of the attitude toward life which all these reveal or imply. From this point of view it is proposed to examine the whole body of Kipling's short-stories, and to study the development of his art as it may be traced through the three periods into which it naturally divides itself - the first or Indian period, in which he wrote stories mainly of Indian life and manners, the third or English period, in which he wrote stories mainly of English life and manners, and the second or transition period, in which he wrote some stories of Indianlife, some of English life, and some of both, combining the technical characteristics of the third period with those of the first.
