Episode 285: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, "Mowgli's Brothers"

Episode 285: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, "Mowgli's Brothers"

Today on The Literary Life podcast, we begin a new series of episodes on The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling with our hosts Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins, and Thomas Banks! After sharing their commonplace quotes, each of them talks about their own reading histories with Rudyard Kipling's work. Thomas gives us some biographical information about Kipling and sets up the literary period in which he wrote. They then begin talking about the structure and form of this book as it is set up as a series of short stories as beast fables. Angelina shares some of the mythic and fairy tale elements she noticed while reading this first story, "Mowgli's Brothers." They also discuss some of the challenges we face reading stories written in a different time and place without imposing our current views on all the literature of the period.
