The Indian Images In The Works Of Kipling And Foster

Both Rudyard Kipling and Edward Morgan Foster were Englishmen and thewinners of the Nobel Prize in literature. In fact, they are of great importance in thefield of Indian description, and thus they are of great research value. Their works ofthe Indian description have important value of the colonial literature andcontemporary postcolonial literary characteristics.Based on the postcolonial theory, we will interpret their works. We think that bothof their works show the colonial ideology but with different features: Firstly, theformer is beautiful and the latter is disorganized. In the humanities, both of them tendto describe the India in a mystery way. Secondly, in the struggle against the Britain,Kipling tended to weaken it, but Foster was just the opposite. In the description aboutthe characters, both of them portrayed the colonists with mean and noble characterthough in different styles. Both Kipling and Foster hoped sincerely that the twocountry could be cultural integrate, but in fact, their hopes have never come true.Kipling and Foster lived in a different era and had completely different lifeexperiences, which lead to their works with different features. We will discuss thenarrative in their works in order to explore the thinking about the western culture inwestern perspective from the vertical dimension of history to horizontal dimension ofmicro text.This paper consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, we will compare thesimilarities and differences about the description of the natural and humanismlandscapes. In the second chapter, we will discuss the differences about both theBritish embassy in India with India and the struggle against the colonialists. In thethird chapter, we will devise their different thinking about cultural integration.
