Any details on Bro. Kipling's Masonic affiliations?
Just re-read Orwell's essay on Kipling this morning - Kipling has thrived
while his detractors are largely forgotten.
I'm a schoolteacher in Brooklyn, New York City, originally from Scotland, who
loves teaching Kipling in World History classes. Although I disagree
politically with Kipling on many issues, his style is wonderful and makes it
worthwhile every time. I'm looking for a secondary source or commentary on
"The White Man's Burden" which may clarify this poem for my students.
Cheers,
John Butterfield
