11 pp. in total, various sizes from 115 x 90 mm, typed and handwritten. On the stationery of Bateman's Burwash, Sussex, with one exception (Palace Hotel, Jersey). Eight signed letters by Rudyard Kipling on literary themes, to his long-time correspondent Ronald Barnes, 3rd Baron Gorell (1884-1963) and long-time editor of the Cornhill Magazine. Ranging from discussions of WWI poetry and the rise of Nazism to the fickle tastes for poetry among the masses, Kipling and Barnes kept up a lively conversation for decades. In 1933, Kipling puts forward a theory on war poetry: - "This isn't a world, just now, where there is general recognition of Beauty. Did you notice how, after the War, the men who sung dwelt, quite naturally, on the harsh lines and colours of the wreckage in which they had lived for years. And their metres conformed to their scheme. Later, when they drew free of the first stresses, they pinned their themes to some small intense personal aspect of some small thing, long watched and intensely pored over. (All the same as a man under fire in a tobacco field for hours, watches the wet trickling down the veined leaves till they seem part of his brain.) The fellows who hadn't 'been there' imitated - that's my theory - and emphasized the note and structure of harshness without the authentic experiences to bite it in." A few years later, Kipling reflects on his legacy: "Moreover, people who are interested in modern poetry are not enamoured of my stuff which, to them, represents - quite naturally - outworn methods, settings and adjectives, plus an objectionable 'political outlook and orientation'". - Kipling advises Gorell to avoid Pope's 'heroic' tradition' within his own poetry, praises an article by Wylde on modern India, and disputes Gorell's faith in progress: "It is not 'progress' nor have 'brigandage and warfare' ceased within this land. Any one who takes a walk after paying his taxes knows better". He praises the Cornhill Magazine, discusses the thankless job of running any magazine, and questions the purpose of releasing public statements in praise of Cornhill: "I know all this sounds abominably ungracious, but, after all, one has only one life to live". - Only the slightest hints of edgewear; in excellent condition. - Previously sold at Sotheby's, 17 July 1997, lot 443. …

Small 4to (212 x 215 mm). 1½ pages. Typed and handwritten with a number of corrections in pen throughout. With autograph envelope. To the English writer H. Rider Haggard: "Private: Better burn this when you're done with it". Kipling apologises for his delayed reply owing to his rereading of "Wisdom's Daughter": "The more I went through it, the more I was convinced that it represented the whole sum and substance of your convictions along certain lines". He offers suggestions on taking "the whole book up again" and alters the point of view: "I do not know whether this would be right or effective in the long-run, but I am fairly sure that it would be a satisfaction to you yourself". Kipling goes on to recommend putting the book to one side before returning to it: "All this is on the assumption, which I never hid from you, that the whole book is miles and miles above the heads of the reader at large. It will not come to its own for a long time, but, to those to whom it is a message or a confirmation it will mean more than the rest of your work". With honesty ("If you cut me open, I could not say in what manner one should go about the business of revision") he continues with further suggestions for improvement of the novel, before exclaiming, "Damn it! You've got the whole tragedy of the mystery of life under your hand". - "Wisdom's Daughter", a fantasy novel written by Haggard, was published in 1923. Haggard and Kipling met in 1889 and remained close friends for the following thirty-five years; they wrote to one another frequently, often offering advice on one another's writing. - Provenance: Roy Davids Ltd., 1999.…
