Rudyard Kipling's Verse 1895-1932
Inclusive Edition
By Rudyard Kipling
Published by Hodder And Stoughton Limited: London 1933
Scarce Copy In Leather Binding

" First published in 1933, Rudyard Kipling's Verse 1885-1932: Inclusive Edition represents the most comprehensive authorised collection of Kipling's poetry issued during his lifetime. Spanning nearly half a century of literary output, the volume brings together the poems that made Kipling one of the most influential and controversial voices of the late Victorian, Edwardian, and early twentieth-century world. From imperial ballads and martial verse to reflective, personal, and philosophical poems shaped by age and loss, the collection charts the full arc of Kipling's poetic development with remarkable breadth and coherence.

The Inclusive Edition was carefully assembled to supersede earlier collected verse, incorporating revisions and additions that Kipling himself sanctioned. It includes well-known poems such as "If—," "Gunga Din," "Mandalay," and "The White Man's Burden," alongside later, darker works informed by the First World War and the death of his son. The result is a body of verse that balances energy and craftsmanship with moral complexity, revealing Kipling not merely as a poet of empire, but as a disciplined formalist deeply concerned with duty, loss, tradition, and the limits of power. The bibliographical notes included in this edition underscore its authority as the definitive single-volume presentation of his verse to that date.

Published by Hodder & Stoughton in London in 1933, this substantial volume stands as a landmark in Kipling bibliography and twentieth-century literary publishing. Both a literary monument and a historical document, it captures the voice of a Nobel laureate looking back over a lifetime's work, and would particularly appeal to collectors of Kipling, students of English poetry, and readers interested in the cultural and historical currents of Britain from the late Victorian era through the interwar years.
