Selected Poems (Penguin Classics) by Rudyard Kipling (EPUB)

Description

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling’s talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including ‘Mandalay’ and ‘Gunga Din’, to the dignified and inspirational ‘If -‘ and the later, deeply moving ‘Epitaphs of the War’ – inspired by the death of Kipling’s only son – it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Love Kipling writinhs

⭐Perhaps the above reveiw was for a different book of Kipling’s poems. There are no illustrations besides the cover art, and Kipling’s famous “If” poem is thankfully included. The book is lightweight and small enough to fit in a purse or briefcase easily. The cover is pleasing and the margins inside are generous. In all, well laid out and good to have around.

⭐I thought it was a poor selsction, without his most famous, “If” included. The illustrations were like those from a newspaper, and it’s overall content was not great.

⭐As a gift this book was in good condition and fairly priced. It arrived on time and was as stated. Thanks.

⭐Using as a reference work and downloaded to avoid carrying paper version
