Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast andMan in lndia of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound （O/B） editions. A variation on Lockwood＇s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson＇s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Boobs, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three.展开更多

While it has attracted much discussion from different perspectives, one particular aspect remains to be further explored. A careful examination of this story will enable the readers to discover a certain level of language"deviance", which in fact serves the special purpose of foregrounding. By referring to the"foregrounding theory"and applying Halliday's concept of"motivated prominence"in the linguistic analysis of the story, this paper attempts to draw special attention to such language"deviance"and reveal the hidden messages. By doing so, the readers are expected to acquire a better understanding of the theme and the implica tions in this story and fully appreciate the beauty of such language"deviance"as well as Hemingway's virtuosity in language use in his writing.展开更多
