Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York. This edition of Rudyard Kipling's poetry (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. During his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is notable for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, while he was equally comfortable with dramatic monologues and lengthy ballads. He is often considered to glorify war, militarism, and the British Empire, but a careful reading of the poems does not confirm this view. This edition reprints George Orwell's fierce critique of Kipling's poems, which was published in 1942 and is generally considered one of the most important contributions to the discussion regarding Kipling.
