It ranges from "Mandalay" and "Gunga Din", to "If" and "Epitaphs of the War".

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Kipling's reputation as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire has obscured the true nature and scope of his poetic achievement. His poems range from exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, through vivid character sketches of soldiers and seamen, to enchanting poems for children, political invective, and artistic manifestos.

Here, Kipling's poems are presented in chronological order to reveal the development, as well as the originality, of his work.
