Table of contents
Despite changes in racial attitudes and literary standards for poetry, Kipling's poetry continues to be popular with those who see it as "vigorous and adept" rather than "jingling". Even T. Eliot, a very different poet, edited Just-So Stories have been illustrated, and made into successful children's books, and his Jungle Books have been made into several movies; the first was made by producer Alexander Korda, and others by the Walt Disney Company.
After the death of Kipling's wife in , his house, "Batemans" in Burwash, East Sussex was bequeathed to the National Trust, and is now a public museum to the author. There is a thriving Kipling Society in the United Kingdom, and a boarding house at Haileybury is named after him. Rudyard Kipling is buried in Poets' Corner, part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey where many literary people are buried or commemorated. Kipling and the Re-Invention of Science Fiction Kipling has remained influential in popular culture even during those periods in which his critical reputation was in deepest eclipse.
An important specific case of his influence is on the development of science fiction during and after its Campbellian reinvention in the late s. Kipling exerted this influence through John W. Campbell and Robert A. Campbell described Kipling as "the first modern science fiction writer", and Heinlein appears to have learned from Kipling the technique of indirect exposition, showing the imagined world through the eyes and the language of the characters, rather than through expository lumps, which was to become the most important structural device of Campbellian SF.
This technique is fully on display in Citizen of the Galaxy. Tributes and references to Kipling are common in science fiction, especially in Golden Age writers such as Heinlein and Poul Anderson but continuing into the present day.

The science fiction field continues to reflect many of Kipling's values and preoccupations, including nurturing a tradition of high-quality children's fiction in a moral-didactic vein, a fondness for military adventure with elements of bildungsroman set in exotic environments, and a combination of technophilic optimism with classical-liberal individualism and suspicion of government. The Swastika Many of Rudyard Kipling's older books have a swastika printed on their covers, which has led to many claiming that he is racist.
The truth is that the swastika is an Indian sign of good luck, often used by Hindu traders on their account books; when the Nazis started to gain recognition he commanded the engraver to remove it from the printing block. Note that the arms of the Nazi swastika bend to the right, not to the left as in Kipling's which is more typical of the swastika used by Buddhists. What makes Biblio different?
