Kipling on Video

The Kipling Journal has been the magazine of the society since its foundation in 1927. It is currently published three times a year under the editorship of Professor Jan Montefiore. It is available to all members online and sent by post to members who have chosen that option as well.
The Kipling Society is a charity whose object is the advancement of public education by the promotion of the study and appreciation of the life and works of Rudyard Kipling.
The Journal is open to submissions, of any length between 500 and 5000 words, from students, scholars, professional academics, and Kipling enthusiasts. All articles are peer reviewed. Copyright of material published in the Kipling Journal remains with the author.
