The great expansion of knowledge in recent years about the
work of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) from new sources of
information has made it possible, for the first time, to
produce a genuinely complete edition of his poems. To the
poems collected by Kipling himself this edition adds more
than 550 uncollected poems, some of them unpublished. Every
authorized text of the collected poems, from original
periodical publication to the final edition in the author's
lifetime, has been collated to produce a full record of the
author's additions, deletions, and alterations. A note to
each poem provides a record of publication and, where
possible, information about its occasion and context.
Through its completeness, its record of changes, and its
notes, the edition provides a new basis for the study and
appreciation of Kipling's poetry.
