[QUOTE="BAGTIC, post: 505478, member: 3757"] Reputedly at his zenith Kipling was the most read English author. Consider how many of his works became movies. I believe he fell out of fashion because so many of his stories emphasised themes of loyalty, duty, honor, courage, sacrifice etc. There was a ready made audience for such stories in an age when many common people themselves held to such ideals. In the 'me generation' they seem quaintly moralistic, they were, and preachy. Few readers want to be so reminded of how short of the mark they themselves fall. [/QUOTE]
