Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is perhaps the most controversial major English poet of the last two centuries, not least because of his apparent enthusiasm for the empire. A child of British India, he first became famous for tales of imperial life, notably ” Kim”, ”the Jungle Book” & ” Barrack Room Ballads”. Kipling wrote verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode, but his most distinctive gift was for the ballads & narrative poems in which he draws vivid characters in universal situations & articulates profound truths in plain language. Yet he was also a subtle & deeply affecting anatomist of the human heart, with a feeling for the natural world which rivals his younger contemporary, D H Lawrence. Shattered by World War I in which he lost his only son, his work darkens & deepens in later years, but never loses its extraordinary vitality. ...

Rudyard Kipling is the doyen of travel writers. His genius for evoking the sights, sounds & atmosphere of a place was crystallised in his fiction, in which he introduced Victorian readers to the drama & exoticism of the East. The teaming, dusty Grand Trunk Road springs to life off the pages of Kim, while the misty heights of imperial Simla provide an identifiable & almost tangible physical background to Plain Tales from the Hills. Kipling`s poetry, journalism & letters also encapsulated the spirit of the places he visited, from Egypt, India & Brazil to the United States & Southern Africa. He was fascinated by the practicalities & potential of travel, the people encountered & experiences had. At a time when tourism was in its infancy, he prophetically reflected on the effects of mass transport & the `globe trotters` who thronged to India. With his darting, universal mind, he was the first person to understand the relationship between travel & globalisation. ” Kipling Abroad” gathers together some of the most descriptive & revealing of his travel writing, which has never before been published in one volume. Introduced & edited by Andrew Lycett, author of an acclaimed biography of Kipling, it captures the range, curiosity & sheer talent of one of our best loved authors, revealing as much about Kipling himself as it does about the places he visited. ...

Kipling may be best known as a commentator on the British Empire, but he was also a vivid observer & chronicler of the sea & of ships & all who sailed in them. For him the sea was the glue which bound the British Empire together. To reach distant lands, you needed to sail. Kipling wrote copiously about his own voyages to India, across the Pacific & Atlantic, down to South Africa & Australia & about the voyages of others. Sailors were particular heroes of his, as adventurers who braved every kind of element & danger in order to reach distant lands. In writing about them, he was enthralled by the romance of the sea, touching on everything from pirates to technical changes in ships. His output reflected his deep historical understanding, so he could write equally about three sailors reminiscing about their shipwreck with St Paul off Malta in 66ad & a ship on fire in the Indian Ocean. He was also a great advocate of the navy. He wrote about its exploits, customs, history & contemporary role in a variety of different forms. At all stages of his life Kipling peppered his many letters with observations about the sea, encompassing his own voyages & his other nautical interests. Edited & with a commentary by Kipling expert & author of the much praised Kipling Abroad, Kipling & the Sea illuminates a side of Kipling`s work that has for too long languished in the shadows. ...
