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

The short story ＂Rikki-tikki-tavi＂ is elaborated using the structure of Western fables, having allegory as one of its most exploited strategies. Vladmir Propp, in Morphology of the Folktale （1929） considers that every folktale story reproduces a structure. Propp＇s model demonstrates Rikki-tikki-tavi＇s Western ＂frame＂ when the authors see how clearly and efficiently the short story fits the model of Russian Folktale. This article will analyze ＂Rikki-tikki-tavi＂ as a paradigm of this literary genre, showing how characters metaphorically represent the British domination in India during the end of the 19th century.展开更多
