Publisher Synopsis
'Stripped of his historical baggage, Kipling re-emerges as England's Homer. These magisterial volumes remind us of his power.' A. A. Gill, Sunday Times 'The scholarly nature of the Cambridge Edition, with Professor Pinney's meticulous notes and mastery of the subject makes it the ideal tool for any consideration of Kipling's verse ... Pinney's magisterial collection will be of great value to scholars; but the lay reader will also find a host of old friends among its pages, and discover many more worth pursuing.' Juliet Townsend, Spectator 'A prodigious feat of scholarship that no individual could have accomplished alone ... Pinney's achievement remains remarkable ... magisterial volumes.' Richard Cronin, Review 19 (www.nbol-19.org) 'Pinney is a magisterial figure in Kipling scholarship ... The comprehensiveness of (this) edition rests on his intelligent thoroughness, his willingness to test received ideas, his grasp of the technical processes of publishing and printing in the period and his eye for detail. It is also a labour of love.' Times Literary Supplement Read more...
