This is an invaluable guide to the philosophical thought that undergirds and peermeates the poetry of Robert Frost. It is a penetrating analysis of Frost's intellectual foundations and his practice as a poet. This book provides the reader of Frost's poetry with insights into the universe that is on display therein.
