The Art of Robert Frost

Sobre el libro The Art of Robert Frost de Tim Kendall publicado por Yale University Press al 2012:

Widely revered during his lifetime, Robert Frost continues to enchant readers today, nearly a century after the publication of his first volume of poems, A Boy´s Will. This book presents a splendid selection of sixty-five poems from across Frost´s writing career, beginning in the 1890s and ending with "Directive" from the 1940s. Tim Kendall offers a detailed account of each poem, enabling readers to follow the journey which Frost himself recognized in all great poetry: "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom."

In addition to close readings of the poems, The Art of Robert Frost traces the development of Frost´s writing career and relevant aspects of his life. The book also assesses the particular nature of the poet´s style, how it changes over time, and how it relates to the works of contemporary poets and movements, including Modernism.

The first book on Frost to combine selected poems with a critical study, this appealing volume will be welcome on the shelves of scholars, students, and all other readers who love fine poetry.
