The Kipling Society
The Kipling Society is a literary society open to everyone interested in the work and life of British author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). The Kipling Society focuses on Kipling and his place in English Literature, and as such attracts members from all over the world, both general readers and academic researchers.
The Society’s activities include: regular meetings in the UK, a programme of lectures in London, and a formal Annual Luncheon with a distinguished guest speaker, as well as conferences. The Society publishes ''The Kipling Journal'' quarterly, and hosts a comprehensive website, which includes a Readers’ Guide to Kipling’s works. In addition, it runs an essay writing competition for schools, answers enquiries from the public (schools, publishers and writers), and works with the media. In 2014 it contributed to programmes commemorating the centenary of the First World War. The Society is a Registered Charity (No. 278885) and its activities are managed by a Council and run by the Secretary and honorary officers: The Hon. Secretary, John Lambert; Chair, Mary Hamer; Deputy Chair, John Radcliffe; President, Roger Ayers; Librarian, John Walker; Journal Editor, Janet Montefiore.
==History and Aims==
Founded in 1927 while Kipling was still alive, the society is one of the oldest and most enduring literary societies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allianceofliterarysocieties.org.uk/id11.html )〕
The Kipling Society was founded by J H C Brooking and a few fellow enthusiasts, including Kipling's school-friends Major General L C Dunsterville and G C Beresford, who featured in ''Stalky & Co.'' as "Stalky" and "M'Turk". Its aims are to promote interest in the works, life and times of Rudyard Kipling and to act as a physical and virtual meeting place for all those interested in him; to make the archive of existing knowledge accessible through its library and website; to foster new research and to support scholarly editions of previously unpublished work.
