Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936

on Network Three

A reassessment by Peter Porter
When Kipling died he had already outlived the period of his greatest fame. Since his death, attempts to reassess his work have been made by T.S. Eliot and Noel Annan, among others, but in this centenary year its full range and versatility have yet to be appreciated. The Australian poet Peter Porter believes that Kipling compels attention as a sort of Auden of the Right, whose insight into violence and control of the dramatic monologue give his best verse and prose lasting appeal.
