The standing of Rudyard Kipling, barrackroom balladeer to the common man and poet laureate of the high noon of Empire, has suffered at the hands of our changing social values in the five decades since his death. Now Martin Seymour-Smith has taken advantage of the lifting of constraints so long imposed by the Kipling family with the granting of extensive access to Kipling's personal papers. The resulting biography contains an investigation into Kipling's sexuality as a mainspring of his creativity, and the author's introduction to this edition offers a response to the criticism which his analysis provoked.

In this controversial new biography he is subjected to the psychological scrutiny for which Martin Seymour-Smith is celebrated, and the personality that emerges is quite different from the traditional image of the Laureate of the Empire portrayed by past critics. Born in Bombay, Kipling spent much of his childhood with foster parents in Southsea, and went to school in Westward Ho! before returning to India as a journalist. In 1889 he came back to England, via the Far East and the USA, and cemented the success he had enjoyed through his writing in India. In 1892 he married, and settled in Vermont for four years. It was here that he wrote his most famous work, The Jungle Book. After further travels and a spell at Rottingdean, Kipling moved to Bateman's in Sussex, where he lived for the rest of his life. In 1907 he became the first British author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Martin Seymour-Smith explores beyond this exterior of conventional respectability and discovers territory uncharted by previous biographers, all of whom have preserved the myth. He examines Kipling's life and work with rigor and insight, and unfolds the extraordinary and deeply moving story of this much-loved and much-criticized author who has come to occupy his own special place in the canon of English literature. Kipling can never be the same again." Martin Seymour-Smith ha approfittato della rimozione dei vincoli così a lungo imposti dalla famiglia Kipling con la concessione di un ampio accesso alle carte personali di Kipling. L'introduzione dell'autore a questa edizione offre una risposta alle critiche suscitate dalla sua biografia. La posizione di Rudyard Kipling, ballerino di baracca per l'uomo comune e poeta laureato del mezzogiorno dell'Impero, ha sofferto a causa dei nostri valori sociali mutevoli nei cinque decenni successivi alla sua morte. Ora Martin Seymour-Smith ha approfittato dell'eliminazione dei vincoli così a lungo imposti dalla famiglia Kipling con la concessione di un ampio accesso alle carte personali di Kipling. La biografia che ne risulta contiene un'indagine sulla sessualità di Kipling come motore della sua creatività e l'introduzione dell'autore a questa edizione offre una risposta alle critiche provocate dalla sua analisi.
