Bibliography: p. 180-196. / The fundamental opposition of certain literary critics is reviewed. It is evident that much of the antagonism results from Kipling's allegedly tendentious presentation of imperialism, and from the dispute over forms of political dominance. The purpose of this study being to examine the nature and significance of imperialism in his work, several definitions of the term are given, and the areas in which he had particular interest are reviewed. A basis for a comparison with other poets is suggested. The extent of his influence on politics and society is summarized in statements by contemporary historians; it is concluded that this influence continues to affect the response to his work.
