About this book

This is a study of the forces and influences that shaped Kipling's work, including his unusual family background, his role as the laureate of empire and the deaths of two of his children, and of his complex relations with a literary world that first embraced and then rejected him.

Reviews

'...with the accent on the writing and publishing history of Kipling's works, Mallett reveals new facets of his life and times... [Mallett's] enthusiasm for Kipling's work shines through the book, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read.' - The Kipling Journal
