Abstract
ABSTRACT:
This essay discusses the various ways in which Rudyard Kipling's little-known work The Jungle Play revises and reconfigures the endings of The Jungle Books and "In the Rukh." By forcing narrative closure onto Mowgli's story in the final act, the play forms a more complete imperial allegory that further complicates the Jungle Book canon.
