Description: A SONG OF THE ENGLISH Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by W. Heath Robinson Hodder & Stoughton, London, NO DATE circa 1919. Blue cloth, gilt titles and green decorations covers clean bright; small owner name inside cover bottom edge dated 1920 (see last photo) ; . 16 tipped-in color plates. B/w text illustrations. All plates present. The work of Rudyard Kipling will forever be associated with an era in which the sun never set on the British Empire; even George Orwell once noted that Kipling was a "prophet of British imperialism." In Kipling's A Song of the English, the experience of British imperialism is hauntingly related through a series of poems on English seafarers, the casualties of imperialist expansion, and the exotic and far-flung capitals of the British Empire. With stunning illustrations by prominent turn-of-the-century illustrator W. Heath Robinson, this volume provides a poignant glimpse at this bygone period of history.
