About the Author

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay, India, but raised in England until he returned to India in 1881 as a journalist and local newspaper editor. In 1907 Kipling became the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize for literature. A poet and prolific short story writer, he is best known as the author of The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1902), and Just So Stories (1902).


Zohreh T. Sullivan is Professor of English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is the author of Narratives of Empire: The Fictions of Rudyard Kipling, Exiled Memories: Stories of Iranian Diaspora, and many articles on British, colonial, and postcolonial literatures.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay in December 1865. He returned to India from England shortly before his seventeenth birthday, to work as a journalist first on the Civil and Military Gazette in Lahore, then on the Pioneer at Allahabad. The poems and stories he wrote over the next seven years laid the foundation of his literary reputation, and soon after his return to London in 1889 he found himself world-famous. Throughout his life his works enjoyed great acclaim and popularity, but he came to seem increasingly controversial because of his political opinions, and it has been difficult to reach literary judgements unclouded by partisan feeling.

i needed this text for my studies and i’m so so happy with it, as i ordered it and it arrived two days after the purchase. the advertising is a little deceiving as the cover that’s in the first picture isn’t what you receive, it’s the cover of the second image :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent edition for modern readers
Reviewed in the United States on 30 October 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my family's small book club. We needed an edition of Kim with notes to help us understand the politics, geography, culture, and specialized vocabulary related to the story. The footnotes were invaluable. I found the essays on literary and cultural issues less helpful, but did study some of them, and appreciated the additional information and commentary they contained. Kim contains many references to politics and geography that would be lost on a modern American reader. My reading experience was greatly enhanced by having the critical material contained in this edition. I highly recommend it. My only caveat is that the critical essays date from the late twentieth century. It would be fascinating to read more recent essays on the colonial backdrop to the novel.

Kim is a wonderful book, and probably Kipling's finest work. It can be challenging to read however, due to the use of words that are either archaic or obscure. This edition ( Norton Critical Editions) is copiously annotated with the meaning of many of the challenging words. Highly recommended.
