Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York. This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) 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 and extended ballads. He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell's hard-hitting account of Kipling's poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 1853264059 | | Dimensions | 12.7 x 5.08 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | New edition | | Isbn 10 | 9781853264054 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1853264054 | | Item Weight | 567 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 928 pages | | Publication Date | 5 January 1994 | | Publisher | Wordsworth Editions | ## Images ![Collected Poems of Rudyard Kipling - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IWqIJmubL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kipling's way *by on Reviewed in India 7 April 2018* I got what I thought I would get. Kipling is an important poet, who never really knocks on the door of greatness. But he can be astonishingly good at times. His keen eye and eager ears could make even the great envious. And this ability serves him good, for it induces us to read his works in spite of the sickening racial overtone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique insight into history *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 July 2023* I do like to think of myself as an avid reader and poetry enthusiast, and this book gave me the pleasure of immersing myself in the works of the legendary wordsmith, Rudyard Kipling. This collection of poems truly encapsulates the essence of his profound literary brilliance and takes readers on a captivating journey through time and various corners of the world. Kipling's ability to weave captivating narratives into verse form is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and this anthology stands as a testament to his enduring legacy.The collection comprises a wide array of themes, each showcasing Kipling's keen observation of human nature and his deep understanding of the human condition. From tales of adventure and exploration in the exotic landscapes of India to poignant reflections on the complexities of empire and its consequences, the poet's unique perspective on life's struggles and triumphs is both thought-provoking and evocative.One of the most captivating aspects of this anthology is Kipling's uncanny ability to capture the essence of various cultures, bringing them to life with vivid imagery and compelling storytelling. His poems transport readers to far-flung lands, making us feel like voyagers traversing the world alongside the author. In each poem, we encounter a rich tapestry of characters, landscapes, and customs that are as diverse as they are enchanting.A standout feature of Kipling's poetry is his masterful use of rhythm and rhyme, which adds a musical quality to the verses. This creates an entrancing cadence that not only delights the ear but also reinforces the emotional impact of the words. Each line is carefully crafted, and every stanza resonates with a sense of purpose and depth, leaving a lasting impression on the reader's mind and heart.While many of the poems celebrate the imperial values of the time, it is essential to approach this collection with an awareness of its historical context.

Nevertheless, even in these moments, Kipling's literary prowess cannot be denied.In conclusion, Rudyard Kipling's collection of poems is a treasure trove of timeless tales that will undoubtedly appeal to poetry lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human experience.

Y quien lo metió en el sobre le dobló la cubierta y varias hojas de atrás, muy descuidados. El contenido excelente claro. ## Frequently Bought Together - Collected Poems of Rudyard Kipling (Wordsworth Poetry Library) - The Collected Poems of William Wordsworth (Wordsworth Poetry Library) - The Works of John Keats: With An Introduction and Bibliography --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/362934155-collected-poems-of-rudyard-kipling](https://www.desertcart.de/products/362934155-collected-poems-of-rudyard-kipling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
