  Rudyard Kipling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kipling's poetry of the time included "Gunga Din" (1892) and "The White Man's Burden" (1899); in the non-fiction realm he also became involved in the debate over the British response to the rise in German naval power, publishing a series of articles collectively entitled A Fleet in Being.
In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature; bookending this achievement was the publication of two connected poetry and story collections, 1906's Puck of Pook's Hill and 1910's Rewards and Fairies.
Despite changes in racial attitudes and literary standards for poetry, Kipling's poetry continues to be popular with those who see it as vigorous and adept rather than jingling.
