This is a fully revised & meticulously researched edition of Kiplings Complete Work" with an authoritative introduction from M.M. Kaye. When Kipling died in 1936 he was considered second to none as a poet. Years before Tennyson had described young Kipling as the only one with divine fire; but in fact Kipling died in relative anonymity his death overshadowed by that of George V & his reputation dented by a Britain that saw him as outdated & imperialist. On 23rd January King George was brought to lie in state in Westminster Hall the same day as Kiplings ashes were quietly consigned to Poets Corner. Kiplings poetry throughout the 756 pages of this edition captivates the reader as varied as it is beautiful bringing us characters such as Gunga Din Judy OGrady & the Colonels Lady who have become enshrined in literature. Very often the most powerful & evocative poems are the most personal & humane; together they form a compelling & deeply moving portrait of this poet." ...
