The Letters of Robert Frost, Volume 2: 1920-1928 is the second
installment of Harvard's five-volume edition of the poet's
correspondence. Nearly three hundred letters in the
critically-acclaimed first volume had never before been collected;
here, close to four hundred are gathered for the first time. Volume
2 includes letters to some 160 correspondents: family and friends;
colleagues, fellow writers, visual artists, editors, and
publishers; educators of all kinds; farmers, librarians, and
admirers. In the years covered here, publication of Selected Poems,
New Hampshire, and West-Running Brook enhanced Frost's stature in
America and abroad, and the demands of managing his career-as
public speaker, poet, and teacher-intensified. A good portion of
the correspondence is devoted to Frost's appointments at the
University of Michigan and Amherst College, through which he played
a major part in staking out the positions poets would later hold in
American universities. Other letters show Frost helping to shape
the Bread Loaf School of English and its affiliated Writers'
Conference. We encounter him discussing his craft with students and
fostering the careers of younger poets. His observations (and
reservations) about educators are illuminating and remain
pertinent. And family life-with all its joys and sorrows, hardships
and satisfactions-is never less than central to Frost's concerns.
Robert Frost was a masterful prose stylist, often brilliant and
always engaging. Thoroughly annotated and accompanied by a
biographical glossary, chronology, and detailed index, these
letters are both the record of a remarkable literary life and a
unique contribution to American literature.
