Some time ago I posted enquiries about "With the Night
Mail" particularly with respect to Kipling's use of
advertisments and letters from the "contemporary magazine"
in which the story (mean to have been written in the year
2000) appeared.
Someone (I think) mentioned that there might have been
something in the Society's journal about this.
Unfortunately I've mislaid the mailing. I'd be very
grateful for details, and to know if anyone knows other
sources for essays written about how Kipling creates a
fictional world not just by inventing mundane details about
it but by involving the reader in this world by pretending
that they are part of it.
best wishes
