Rudyard Kipling: Poems by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling: Poems is a collection of poems that are often misread as wholly racist, but in fact are much more nuanced. Written during the era of British Imperialism, many of these poems appear on the surface to be glorifying the superiority of white men, but in fact use subtle sarcasm to prove just the opposite. These poems display the author's love for and fascination with India, and, although they are not without some offensive ideas, these works explore the themes of equality, otherness, and the injustices of colonialism.
