This book is a collection of biographical records portraying the life of Rudyard Kipling, drawn from official biographies, memoirs, testimonies, letters, diaries, conversations, anecdotes, essays, and reviews.

The highly successful Lives of Victorian Literary Figures series continues with the seventh installment. This facsimile edition focuses on three hugely popular late-Victorian novelists. Joseph Conrad (1875-1924), Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) and Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) engaged with different aspects of the rapidly-expanding British Empire. Carefully selected extracts from biographies, memoirs, diaries, private letters and other ephemera reveal how these iconic writers were viewed by their contemporaries. The edition will be vital to those studying Nineteenth-Century Studies, Twentieth Century Studies, Literature and Children's Literature.

This book looks at Rider Haggard from a different standpoint, his own. It carries a selection of critical appraisals of Haggard's work by his contemporaries up until the early 1950s.

This volume presents documents that roughly follow the chronology of Joseph Conrad's life and deliberately considers two documents that reveal surprising and important facts that Conrad had carefully concealed.

The second of a three-volume collection of studies focusing on Joseph Conrad's Polish roots and his contributions as a British writer.
