In "Roads Not Taken, " Earl J. Wilcox and Jonathan N. Barron
bring a new freshness and depth to the study of one of America's
greatest poets. While some critics discounted Frost as a poet
without technical skill, rhetorical complexity, or intellectual
depth, over the past decade scholars have begun to view Robert
Frost's work from many new perspectives. Critical hermeneutics,
culture studies, feminism, postmodernism, and textual editing all
have had their impact on readings of the poet's life and work. This
collection of essays is the first to account for the variety of
these new perceptions.
Appealing to a wide literary community, and in keeping with
Frost's own poetic goals, these twelve essays fall into four
distinct categories: gender, biography and cultural studies, the
intertext, and poetics and theory.
All the contributors, many of whom have written books on Frost,
are widely recognized scholars. Their diverse viewpoints and
collective expertise make this volume of essays the most
significant contribution to Frost criticism to be published in over
twenty years.
