Robert Frost is one of the most widely read, well loved, and
misunderstood of modern writers. In his day, he was also an
inveterate note-taker, penning thousands of intense aphoristic
thoughts, observations, and meditations in small pocket pads and
school theme books throughout his life. These notebooks,
transcribed and presented here in their entirety for the first
time, offer unprecedented insight into Frost's complex and often
highly contradictory thinking about poetics, politics, education,
psychology, science, and religion--his attitude toward Marxism, the
New Deal, World War--as well as Yeats, Pound, Santayana, and
William James. Covering a period from the late 1890s to early
1960s, the notebooks reveal the full range of the mind of one of
America's greatest poets. Their depth and complexity convey the
restless and probing quality of his thought, and show how the
unruliness of chaotic modernity was always just beneath his
appearance of supreme poetic control.
Edited and annotated by Robert Faggen, the notebooks are
cross-referenced to mark thematic connections within these and
Frost's other writings, including his poetry, letters, and other
prose. This is a major new addition to the canon of Robert Frost's
writings.
