From the publication of his first collections, "A Boy's Will" (1913) & "North of Boston" (1914), Frost was recognized as a poet of unique power & formal skill, & the enduring significance of his work has been acknowledged by each subsequent generation. His poetry ranges from deceptively simply pastoral lyrics & genial, vernacular genre pieces to darker meditations, complex & ironic. Here, based on extensive research into his manuscripts & published work, is the first authoritative & truly comprehensive collection of his writings. Brought together for the first time in an LOA single volume is all the major poetry, a generous selection of uncollected poems, all of Frost's dramatic writing, & the most extensive gathering of his prose writings ever published, several of which are printed here for the first time. The core of this collection is the 1949 "Complete Poems of Robert Frost", the last collection supervised by Frost himself. This version of the poems is free of unauthorized editorial changes introduced into subsequent editions. Also included is "In the Clearing" (1962), Frost's final volume of poetry. Verse drawn from letters, articles, pamphlets, & journals makes up the largest selection of uncollected poems ever assembled, including nearly 2 dozen beautiful early works printed for the first time. Also gathered here are all the dramatic works: 3 plays & 2 verse masques. The unprecedented prose section includes more than 3 times as many items as any other collection available. It is rich & diverse, presenting many newly discovered or rediscovered pieces. Especially unusual items include Frost's contribution to John F. Kennedy's inauguration & 2 fascinating 1959 essays on "The Future of Man". Several manuscript items are published here for the first time, including the essays "Caveat Poeta" & "The Way There", Frost's remarks on being appointed poetry consultant to the Library of Congress in 1958, the preface to a proposed new edition of "North of Boston", & many others. A selection of letters represents all of Frost's important comments about prosody, poetics, style, & his theory of "sentence sounds". * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
