Synopsis "Rudyard Kipling Collected Poems (Wordsworth Poetry Library)"

This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads.

He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell´s hard-hitting account of Kiplings poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling wrote novels, poems, and stories mainly set in India and Burma during the British rule. Kipling was a prolific and popular writer, and his literature always revolves around three axes: patriotism, the duty of the English to lead a life of intense activity, and the destiny of England, called to be a great empire. His insistence on this last aspect was undoubtedly an echo of the Victorian past, and severely damaged his reputation as a writer, despite being the first British author awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
