This is a selection of papers from the International conference "Kipling and Europe" (Bologna 2016). The aim of the conference was to have a discussion on Rudyard Kipling’s engagement with the history, politics and culture of Europe. Though Kipling reached a huge audience there, his response to, and impact upon Europe has been little discussed. In fact, his response to Europe was complex and changed over time. Kipling had a keen sense of Europe’s history, whether political, religious and cultural. Importantly, the European and British Empire contexts – where Kipling is usually viewed in terms of the latter – are not wholly separate and distinct. The global politics of Kipling’s time was formed by competing, mostly European, nations, empires and political movements.

Abstract
This is a selection of papers from the International conference "Kipling and Europe" (Bologna 2016). The aim of the conference was to have a discussion on Rudyard Kipling’s engagement with the history, politics and culture of Europe. Though Kipling reached a huge audience there, his response to, and impact upon Europe has been little discussed. In fact, his response to Europe was complex and changed over time. Kipling had a keen sense of Europe’s history, whether political, religious and cultural. Importantly, the European and British Empire contexts – where Kipling is usually viewed in terms of the latter – are not wholly separate and distinct. The global politics of Kipling’s time was formed by competing, mostly European, nations, empires and political movements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
