J. I. M. Stewart's "Rudyard Kipling" is a critical biography covering Kipling's Childhood, Schooldays, Indian Years, and Indian writings such as The Conquest of London and The Light That Failed, Vermont, New Horizons, From the Jungle Books to Rewards and Fairies, Stalky and Others, The Mature Craftsman, and Verse. There is a conclusion, followed by a bibliography of Kipling's principal publications. The physical work runs to 190 pages and includes a list of "Published works of Rudyard Kipling referred to in this work". Reference sources describe the volume quite plainly as "a biographical and critical study of Kipling's writing and his personality." It traces Kipling's life from his 1865 Bombay birth through his Indian journalism career, his sudden London fame, and on to his controversial later reputation as his political views started to draw criticism.
