The Robert Frost Reader

Robert Frost was the most emblematically American of poets a forthright advocate of both the art and craft of verse who was recognized and cherished as few other poets have ever been. This reader offers students and scholars a plethora of his speeches interviews correspondence one-act plays and other materials as well as lengthy selections from all of Frost''s books of verse. Though many have been drawn to his seemingly old-fashioned simplicity this wide-ranging reader in fact reveals that Frost''s work was often dark or ironic in tone―and always subtle and complex.
