Barrack-room ballads by Rudyard Kipling
"Barrack-room ballads" by Rudyard Kipling is a series of poems published beginning in 1890. Written in vernacular dialect, these works capture the voice and experiences of late-Victorian British soldiers. The collection includes some of Kipling's most celebrated poems, such as "Gunga Din," "Tommy," "Mandalay," and "Danny Deever." Through innovative verse forms and authentic military speech, Kipling brought the common soldier's perspective to life, establishing his early reputation as a masterful poet of
empire and military life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
