  Book Contents 內容簡介

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 as he was with extended ballads He is often thought

of as glorifying war militarism and the British Empire but an

attractive reading of his poems does not confirm that view

This edition reprints George Orwell s hard hitting accouni of

Kipling s poems first published in 1942 and generally regarded

as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion

of Kipling
