    ABOUT ROBERT FROST

    Robert Frost, the most renowned American poet, was famous for his realistic versification of rural life.

    He was born to William Prescott Frost Jr and Isabelle Moodie on 26th March 1874. After his father’s death, who was a teacher, his family moved to Lawrence with his grandfather. He grew interested in reading and writing poetry during his high school years there and his first poem was published in his high school magazine. Completing his high school, enrolled for graduation at Dartmouth College, but returned home drifting through a series of unfulfilling jobs. In 1894 he had his first poem ‘My Butterfly, An Elegy’ published in the New York Independent. Later in 1895, he got married to his longtime lover Elinor Miriam White. His illness forced to drop out graduation again from Harvard University. Then they moved to New Hampshire where he worked at the farm that his grandfather purchased for them. Though those nine years at New Hampshire were a fruitful time for his writing, all his farming at that time proved fairly unsuccessful. During such challenges, the life at New Hampshire made him acclimated to rural life that reflected in his poems.

    In 1912 he shifted with family to England where his first book of poetry ‘A Boy’s Will’ followed by the second one ‘North of Boston’ got published in the next consecutive years. It was the time for him to met and influenced by the contemporary British writers as Edward Thomas, T E Hulme, and Ezra Pound. Thomas and Pound were the first to encourage him and write favorable reviews on his poems.

The outbreak of World War I forced Frost and Elinor to leave back the most significant era of their life and be back to America. In their homeland, Frost restarted his teaching career at several colleges, reciting poetry and writing all the way. For almost forty years, he was a prominent faculty at Middlebury College and its campus at Ripton, Vermont. The University of Michigan awarded him with lifetime appointment at the university as a Fellow in Letters.

    During his lifetime, Frost received more than 40 honorary degrees, though he never earned a formal college one. Frost banged the first out of four prestigious Pulitzer prize for the book ‘New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes’ in 1924. The subsequent Pulitzers were for ‘Collected Poems’ in 1931, A Further Range’ in 1937 and ‘A Witness Tree’ in 1943. The Robert Frost Middle School in Fairfax Virginia, the Robert. L. Frost School in Lawrence Massachusetts and the main Library of Amherst College were named after him. In recognition of his poetry, which has enriched the culture of the United States and philosophy all over the world, the United States Congress bestowed him by the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960. Later a year; he was greatly privileged to
