Unseen Rudyard Kipling poems show his rebellious side Published by Cambridge University Press, is edited by scholar Thomas Pinney and includes a selection of works he discovered among Kipling's family archives, private gifts to friends and in the papers of a former head of Cunard line. Among them are lines from the dramatised version of The Jungle Book, widely thought to have been lost forever, and the early drafts of some of his famous works. One poem, entitled Laudatores Actoris Empti, was found as a clipping in a scrapbook, and is thought to show Kipling's response to 1889 government attempts to "purify" the London theatres. Introduced as relating to the "draft theatre bill of the London City Council," it accuses the Conservative-led government of attempting to rule "our souls." The proposed legislation had attempted to clean up the theatres and music halls of London, and resulted in organised protests amid fears it would lead to actors losing their jobs for on-stage misdemeanours. Kipling's poem reads as a protest against the red tape, warning the government: "Reform it - if you dare." It reads in part: "Come, let us lightly scalp the brood / Of "educated middle classes" / Who, much perplexed with "views" and "goals" / Now govern London - and our souls." The book will be published in November.
