The quest for a name in "Frost" -- Proverbs and the quest for certainty -- The riddle of it all -- The material text as witness tree |
| Summary |
This study examines several unexplored aspects of Robert Frost's poetry - proverbs, riddles, and names - and shows how they contribute to the reader's experience. Timothy D. O'Brien argues that while they often shape Frost's poems as sites of inviting wisdom and play, these features also open up the poems to radical doubt about identity, authorship, and reality. This book offers the most extensive research to date of the relationship between Frost's poetry and the visual art that often accompanied it and sheds new light on the work of one of the twentieth century's most highly regarded poets |
