'Hear and attend and listen...' Rudyard Kipling is a supreme master
of the short story in English and a poet of brilliant gifts. His
energy and inventiveness poured themselves into every kind of tale,
from the bleakest of fables to the richest of comedies, and he
illuminated every aspect of human behaviour, of which he was a
fascinated (and sometimes appalled) observer. This generous
selection of stories and poems, first published in the acclaimed
Oxford Authors series, covers the full range of Kipling's career
from the youthful volumes that brought him fame as the chronicler
of British India, to the bittersweet fruits of age and bereavement
in the aftermath of the First World War. It includes stories such
as 'The Man who would be King', 'Mrs Bathurst', and 'Mary
Postgate', and poems from Barrack-Room Ballads and other
collections. In his introduction and notes Daniel Karlin addresses
the controversial political engagement of Kipling's art, and the
sources of its imaginative power.
