This volume contains 189 hitherto unpublished letters by Edwin
Arlington Robinson. They were written between 1897 and 1930 to one
of his first admirers, Edith Brower of Pennsylvania.
The letters begin when the twenty-seven-year-old poet writes
gratefully to the stranger who has expressed appreciation of his
first, privately printed, book of poems, "The Torrent and the Night
Before." Soon he was carrying on an intense correspondence, baring
his soul--safely, he believed, because the woman he described as
"infernally bright and not at all ugly," with "something of a
literary reputation," was "too old to give me a chance to bother
myself with any sentimental uneasiness." (She was twenty-one years
his senior.)
Continually reflecting his laconic, self-deprecating Yankee
spirit, the letters range from the uncontrollable outpourings of a
lonely individual, desperate for encouragement and understanding,
to brief words of greeting or farewell. Without reserve,
Robinson--who was eventually awarded the Pulitzer prize for poetry
three times--confides his reactions to people and places, his
thoughts about his own work, and his personal opinions of such
writers as Browning, Dickens, Hardy, Moody, and Pater.
Mr. Cary has included Miss Brower's unpublished memoir on the
poet's character and literary career, "Memories of Edwin Arlington
Robinson," and her penetrating review of "The Children of the
Night." In addition to an informative Introduction, he contributes
full explanatory notes, a list of Robinson's works, and an
index.
