Description and Table of Contents
Description
The definitive biography of one of the world's favourite poets- 'The Road Not Taken' is one of the most quoted - and most inspirational - poems of the twentieth century.
In this new biography of Robert Frost (1874-1963), Jay Parini offers a major reassessment of the life and work of America's premier poet. He traces the various stages of his colourful life- his boyhood in San Francisco, his young manhood in rural New England, his college days in Dartmouth and Harvard, the years of farming in New Hampshire, and the sojourn in England, where he befriended Edward Thomas, Ezra Pound and other major figures of modern poetry. He shows how Frost gradually evolved from poet to cultural icon, becoming a friend of presidents, and a sage whose announcements attracted world press attention.
