Product Description
Product Description
'The best criticism renews our interest in an author, and that is what Mr Eliot has done in his remarkable essay which prefaces his own selection from Kipling's verse . . . a mature essay full of insight . . . Mr Eliot's essay is an admirable example of the finest type of criticism. He succeeds in making us look at his subject's work with freshly opened eyes and he is at once sober, illuminating and sound.' Spectator
About the Author
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) and was educated in England from the age of six. He returned to India to work as a journalist, and his earliest poems and stories were published in newspapers; his first book, Departmental Ditties, and Other Verses (1886), was followed by many more, including collected short stories and the children's tales for which he is still widely remembered. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.
