Description
Robert Lee Frost was a US poet. His writing was first produced in England before it was produced in America. Famous for his actual denotations of country life and his control of American idiomatic speech, Robert often scribbled of sceneries from country life in New England in the beginning of 20th century, making use of them to scrutinize complicated social and philosophical matters.Robert was honored often in his life, awarded with four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became among America’s rare “public literary figures, almost an artistic institution.” He was given the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Robert was designated poet laureate of Vermont.The poet and critic Randall Jarrell always worshipped Robert’s poetry and stated, “Robert Frost, along with Stevens and Eliot, seems to me the greatest of the American poets of this century. Frost’s virtues are extraordinary. No other living poet has written so well about the actions of ordinary men; his wonderful dramatic monologues or dramatic scenes come out of a knowledge of people that few poets have had, and they are written in a verse that uses, sometimes with absolute mastery, the rhythms of actual speech.” He also worshipped “Frost’s seriousness and honesty,” saying that Robert was specifically proficient at embodying a broad human incident in his work.Randall’s distinguished and inspirational essays on Robert such as the essays “Robert Frost’s ‘Home Burial'”, which comprised of a far-flung serious reading of that specific poem, and “To The Laodiceans” in which Randall supported Robert from those critics who had blamed Robert of being too “traditional” and paid no attention to Modern or Modernist poetry. In Contemporary Literary Criticism, the editors said that “Frost’s best work explores fundamental questions of existence, depicting with chilling starkness the loneliness of the individual in an indifferent universe.”
