A Choice Of Kipling'S Verse Av Rudyard Kipling

''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.'' <i>Spectator</i>
