Day writes that "people uninterested in poetry 'qua' poetry were thrilled by the splendor and spread of empire as glorified in this work. Kipling's Toryism made the mediocre Alfred Austin the poet laureate in 1896 but Kipling was the unofficial laureate of the British empire." One of Britain's best-known writers Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 is most famous for his works portraying the lives of the native population and colonialists on the Indian subcontinent. He was born in Bombay where his father ran an art school and he lived in India until the age of six. He was sent to school in England but chose to return to the East at 18. He proved to be a prolific author writing novels tales for children and adults and many poems. Kipling's wife was American and they lived for a time in Vermont but from 1896 the couple settled in England. Among his many honors are a Nobel Prize 1907 and the Gold Medal of the Royal Society of Literature 1926 which had previously only been awarded to Scott Meredith and Hardy. Copies of the present book are easy to find but they are not so readily available in reasonably priced pretty bindings like the one offered here. Methuen and Co unknown

189017070206Allahbad India: A.H. Wheeler 1890. Hardcover. Good . Octavo size 97 pp. Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 remains a literary force today through his many stories including "The Jungle Book" and poems such as "Gunga Din". A recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 at the age of 42 he remains the youngest recipient to date; considered for the British Poet Laureateship and a knighthood he refused both.<br /> <br /> This is one of Kipling's earliest published writings this volume was number two in the "Indian Railway Series" first published in 1888 in wrappers. This volume seems to a variant of the first English edition with the title page listing "Author of 'Soldiers Three' 'Wee Willie Winkie' Etc." directly beneath the author's name; however while showing Messrs. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad as publisher it does not also list Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington. Pagination also most closely matches the first English without the three leaves between the contents and text and with two leaves of advertisements at the end not one. Interestingly the portion of the front wrap tipped onto the front board does not match exactly that shown in Livingston although clearly it is the same scene with minor details having been changed.<br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Bound between boards covered with marbled paper green cloth shelfback the illustration only from the front wrapper tipped onto the front board and the illustration from the back wrapper tipped onto the back board with a library number assigned to the cloth spine in white to the illustration on the front board in red and to the front free endpaper in red but no other library markings no pockets; octavo size 8.75" by 5.5" pagination: i-ii ads iii title page iv ads v-vi preface vii contents viii blank 1-86 87 "Opinions of the Press" 88-89 ads.<br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Good overall the binding while worn is sturdy and the text is complete; with the library markings as set forth above the boards somewhat rubbed corners worn and bumped prior owner name stamped to front paste down wear and old damp stains to the first leaf and the final two leaves otherwise internally quite good title page with "0/800" in black to middle of the page gutter crack between last two pages of ads. An interesting variant that is worn externally readable as is a good copy.<br /> <br /> ___CITATION: Variant of Livingston 33.<br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
