One of the acknowledged giants of twentieth-century American
literature, Robert Frost was a public figure much celebrated in his
day. Although his poetry reached a wide audience, the private
Frost-pensive, mercurial, and often very funny-remains less
appreciated. Following upon the publication of Frost's notebooks
and collected prose, The Letters of Robert Frost is the first major
edition of the poet's written correspondence. The hundreds of
previously unpublished letters in these annotated volumes deepen
our understanding and appreciation of this most complex and subtle
of verbal artists. Volume One traverses the years of Frost's
earliest poems to the acclaimed collections North of Boston and
Mountain Interval that cemented his reputation as one of the
leading lights of his era. The drama of his personal life-as well
as the growth of the audacious mind that produced his
poetry-unfolds before us in Frost's day-to-day missives. These
rhetorical performances are at once revealing and tantalizingly
evasive about relationships with family and close friends,
including the poet Edward Thomas. We listen in as Frost defines
himself against contemporaries Ezra Pound and William Butler Yeats,
and we witness the evolution of his thoughts about prosody, sound,
style, and other aspects of poetic craft. In its literary interest
and sheer display of personality, Frost's correspondence is on a
par with the letters of Emily Dickinson, Robert Lowell, and Samuel
Beckett. The Letters of Robert Frost holds hours of pleasurable
reading for lovers of Frost and modern American poetry.
