Abstract

Rudyard Kipling's father, John Lockwood Kipling, was a museum curator, art teacher and journalist who spent most of his career in Bombay and later Lahore. This article is based on a paper that was delivered at a conference organized to coincide with a major exhibition on Lockwood's work at the Victoria & Albert Museum. It considers Lockwood's linguistic interests, in particular the folklore and folk idiom of Punjab, and their relevance to his better-known professional activities, as well as their influence upon his son's writing.
