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 Kiplings career from theyouthful 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 othercollections. In his introduction and notes Daniel Karlin addresses the controversial political engagement of Kiplings art, and the sources of its imaginative power.
