Kipling is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. He is recognized as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced.]]> 2017-10-09 14:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/uyen_davis/9clh5jizgt2n/wish/195254990 uyen_davis https://padlet.com/uyen_davis/9clh5jizgt2n/wish/195256106

In life he seems to have thought of it very much as one might have thought of the earlier Roman Empire: its purpose was to maintain stability, order, and peace amongst the heathen, to relieve famine, provide medical assistance, to abolish slavery, to construct the physical and the psychological groundwork for "civilization," and to protect the mother country. It was an island of security in a chaotic world. ]]> 2017-10-09 14:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/uyen_davis/9clh5jizgt2n/wish/195259060
