About this book
Robert Frost was of course a great poet, but he was equally a marvelous teacher who delighted in discussing the nature of writing. Elaine Barry has collected a superb group of Frost letters, reviews, introductions, lectures, and interviews dating all the way back to 1913. In addition to all the major Frost letters on the nature of writing thus far published, Miss Barry includes newly discovered letters and material she came upon while researching this book. Miss Barry integrates this collection of "Frost on Writing" with a shrewd and sympathetic analysis of the scope of his literary criticism. Here is Frost's view of literature and its relation to language, and beyond language, to social order. The book adds to the picture of Frost's connections with the literary figures of his time; it is both a delight and a discovery. -- From publisher's description.
