Kipling's letters, never before collected and edited and largely
unpublished, are now presented in an annotated edition based on the
more than 6,000 letters preserved in public and private collections
all over the world. Planned in an edition of four volumes, the
Letters reveal Kipling with a fullness and immediacy of detail
unmatched by any other source. The first two volumes present the
first half of Kipling's life, down to the end of the nineteenth
century. They show the remarkable transformation of the young
schoolboy into the seasoned Indian journalist, and the even more
remarkable transformation of the Indian journalist into the famous
writer, the most dazzling literary success of the 1890s. Kipling's
hard years of apprenticeship, his restless travels and eager
encounters with cities and men, his triumphant struggles in the
literary wars, are all vividly set forth. The Letters also take
Kipling through his marriage and the births of his children,
through the mingled happiness and distress of his American years,
to the tragedy of his daughter's death at the very highest moment
of his literary fame.
