| Title | Inventory of the The
Rudyard Kipling Collection: |
| Dates | 1882-1982 |
| Abstract | The Cushing Memorial
Library collects books, manuscripts, and other items relating to the life and
works of Rudyard Kipling. The core of the collection was acquired by the
Library from Dr. A. W. Yeats in the late 1980's. The collection, through a
large display of original and reproduced letters, as well as many newspaper
clippings and articles written about him, gives a peek at the kind of everyday
tasks that Rudyard, as a famous author, and his wife Caroline had to contend
with. There are some 36 Rudyard Kipling autograph pieces, all of which are
letters excluding a few poems and miscellaneous items. Along with the letters,
clippings, and many books in the Rudyard Kipling Collection at Texas A&M
University, the collection contains items such as an autograph copy of
"The Foreloper" framed with an
illustration by an unidentified artist, the manuscript for
"The Maltese Cat," and the ledger
book of Mr. T.E. Elwell, an early member of the Kipling Society, who made many
notes and collected numerous clippings towards a Kipling bibliography. In the
Contents, bold folder numbers indicate an autograph Rudyard Kipling
piece. |

Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India in 1865 to English parents.
He was educated in England, but returned to India in 1882, where he worked for
Anglo-Indian newspapers and began his literary career, chiefly as a writer of
short stories. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. Rudyard
Kipling died in 1936.
Dr. A.W. Yeats earned a Ph.D. in literature from the University of
Texas in 1961, and worked as a bookscout for the University. After receiving
his Ph.D., he taught for many years at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.
The Cushing Memorial Library collects books, manuscripts, and other
items relating to the life and works of Rudyard Kipling. The core of the
collection was acquired by the Library from Dr. A. W. Yeats in the late 1980's.
Yeats, who earned a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Texas in 1961,
worked as a bookscout for the University of Texas, first under the direction of
Fannie Ratchford, then director of the Rare Books Collection, and later for
Harry Ransom and the Humanities Research Center. His dissertation was the
Kipling Collections in the James McG. Stewart and
the University of Texas Libraries: An Appraisal of Resources for Literary
Investigation. He also edited the monumental and pioneering
Rudyard Kipling: A Bibliographic Catalogue
(Toronto: Dalhousie University Press and the University of Toronto
Press, 1959), by James McG. Stewart. After receiving his Ph.D., Yeats taught
for many years at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.
The collection, through a large display of original and reproduced
letters, gives a peek at the kind of everyday tasks that Rudyard, as a famous
author, and his wife Caroline had to contend with. Through its many newspaper
clippings and articles written about him, the collection shows how eminent
Rudyard Kipling was as a writer both in the 19th and the 20th centuries. It
also serves as an introduction to the Kipling Society, its founding and
difficulties therein, as well as the struggles legal and otherwise that
surrounded Kipling's work during his life, continuing many years after his
death. The collection contains interesting facts about the Kipling family,
including some light genealogy, the places they lived and visited, and the
people they knew.
There are some thirty-six Rudyard Kipling autograph pieces, all of
which are letters excluding a few poems and miscellaneous items. The collection
contains many original letters of Alice Fleming, Caroline Kipling, Elsie
(Kipling) Bambridge, J.H.C. Brooking, A.W. Yeats and various others as well as
many copies of letters from other Kipling collections throughout the country.
In addition to any personal correspondence, there are many letters and notes,
several minutes, member lists and other paraphernalia of the Kipling Society
founded by J.H.C. Brooking in 1926 (?). There is an assortment of page-proofs,
galleys, original drafts, and copies of Kipling's poems, short stories, and
manuscripts, along with a wide range of newspaper clippings dealing with all
aspects of Kipling's life and influences on society. In addition, the
collection has several original and copied catalogs from bookseller's and
auction houses holding Kipling material.
Along with the letters, clippings, and many books in the Rudyard
Kipling Collection at Texas A&M University, the collection contains
items such as an autograph copy of
"The Foreloper" framed with an
illustration by an unidentified artist, the manuscript for
"The Maltese Cat," and the ledger book
of Mr. T.E. Elwell, an early member of the Kipling Society, who made many notes
and collected numerous clippings towards a Kipling bibliography.
