Often thought of as the quintessential poet of New England,
Robert Frost is one of the most widely read American poets of the
20th century. He was a master of poetic form and imagery, his works
seemed to capture the spirit of America, and he became so
emblematic of his country that he read his work at President
Kennedy's inauguration and traveled to Israel, Greece, and the
Soviet Union as an emissary of the U.S. State Department. While
many readers think of him as the personification of New England, he
was born in San Francisco, published his first book of poetry in
England, matured as a poet while abroad, taught for several years
at the University of Michigan, and spent many of his winters in
Florida. This reference helps illuminate the hidden complexities of
his life and work.
Included in this volume are hundreds of alphabetically arranged
entries on Frost's life and writings. Each of his collected poems
is treated in a separate entry, and the book additionally includes
entries on such topics as his public speeches, various colleges and
universities with which he was associated, the honors that he won,
his biographers, films about him, poets, and others whom he knew,
and similar items. Each entry is written by an expert contributor
and closes with a brief bibliography. The volume also provides a
chronology and concludes with a general bibliography of major
studies.
