"A young George Orwell called Kipling a "prophet of British Imperialism".  

According to critic Douglas Kerr: "He is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled.

But as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced.

That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with."
