*EARLY YEAR
ROBERT FROST
WAS BORN ON
MARCH 26 , 1874, IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA . HE SPENT THE
FIRST 11 YEARS OF HIS
LIFE THERE , UNTIL HIS JOURNALIST FATHER, WILLIAM PRESCOTT
FROST JR., DIED OF TUBERCULOSIS. FOLLOWING HIS FATHER’S PASSING, FROST MOVED WITH HIS
MOTHER AND SISTER, JEANIE , TO
THE TOWN OF LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS .THEY MOVED IN WITH
HIS GRANDPARENTS, AND FROST ATTENDED LAWRENCE
HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE HE MET
HIS FUTURE LOVE AND
WIFE, ELINOR WHITE, WHO WAS
HIS CO-VALEDICTORIAN WHEN THEY
GRADUATED IN 1892.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL , FROST
ATTENDED DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS,
RETURNING HOME TO WORK
A SLEW OF
UNFULFILLING JOBS. IN 1894, HE
HAD HIS FIRST POEM, “MY BUTTERFLY: AN ELEGY,” PUBLISHED IN THE INDEPENDENT,A WEEKLY LITERARY JOURNAL BASED IN NEW
YORK CITY. WITH THIS SUCCESS , FROST PROPOSED TO ELINOR, WHO WAS ATTENDING
ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY, BUT SHE TURNED
HIM DOWN BECAUSE SHE
FIRST WANTED TO
FINISH SCHOOL. FROST THEN DECIDED
TO LEAVE ON
A TRIP TO
VIRGINIA, AND WHEN
HE RETURNED, HE PROPOSED
AGAIN. BY THEN , ELINOR HAD GRADUATED
FROM COLLEGE, AND SHE
ACCEPTED . THEY MARRIED
ON DECEMBER 19, 1895, AND HAD
THEIR FIRST CHILD, ELIOT,IN 1896.
BEGINNING IN 1897,
FROST ATTENDED HARVARD
UNIVERSITY BUT HAD
TO DROP OUT AFTER
TWO YEARS DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS. HE
RETURNED TO LAWRENCE
TO JOIN HIS WIFE , WHO WAS
NOW PREGNANT WITH THEIR SECOND CHILD , DAUGHTER LESLEY (1899). IN 1900, FROST MOVED WITH
HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN TO A FARM IN NEW HAMPSHIRE – PROPERTY THAT FROST’S GRANDFATHER HAD PURCHASED
FOR THEM – AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO
MAKE A LIFE ON
IT FOR THE NEXT
12 YEARS. THOUGH IT WAS
A FRUITFUL TIME
FOR FROST’S WRITING , IT WAS
A DIFFICULT PERIOD
IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE.
THE FROST’S FIRSTBORN
SON, ELIOT, DIED OF CHOLERA IN
1900. AFTER HIS DEATH,
ELINOR GAVE BIRTH
TO FOUR MORE CHILDREN: SON CAROL(1902), WHO WOULD COMMIT SUICIDE IN 1940;IRAM (1903),WHO LATER DEVELOPED MENTAL ILLNESS; MARJORIE (19O5)WHO
DIED IN HER LATE 20s AFTER GIVING BIRTH; AND ELINOR (1907),WHO DIED JUST WEEKS
AFTER SHE WAS BORN. ADDITIONALLY,
DURING THAT TIME , FROST AND
ELINOR ATTEMPTED SEVERAL ENDEAVORS, INCLUDING POULTRY FARMING ,ALL OF
WHICH WERE FAIRLY
UNSUCCESSFUL.
DESPITE SUCH CHALLENGES , IT WAS
DURING THIS TIME
THAT FROST ACCLIMATED
HIMSELF TO RURAL
LIFE .IN FACT , HE GREW TO
DEPICT IT QUIT
WELL, AND BEGAN SETTING
MANY OF HIS POEMS IN THE
COUNTRYSIDE. BUT WHILE TWO
OF THESE, “THE TUFT
OF FLOWERS” AND “ THE TRIAL BY EXISTENCE,”WOULD BE PUBLISHED IN
1906, HE COULD NOT FIND
ANY PUBLISHERS WHO WERE WILLING TO UNDERWRITE
HIS OTHER POEMS.
· PUBLIC RECOGNITION FOR
POETRY
IN 1912, FROST AND
ELINOR DECIDED TO
SELL THE FARM
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND MOVE THE
FAMILY TO ENGLAND ,WHERE THEY HOPED
THERE WOULD BE MORE
PUBLISHERS WILLING TO
TAKE A CHANCE
ON NEW POETS . WITHIN JUST
A FEW MONTHS, FROST, NOW 38, FOUND A PUBLISHER
WHO WOULD PRINT
HIS FIRST BOOK OF POEMS,
A BOY’S
WILL, FOLLOWED BY NORTH
OF BOSTON A
YEAR LATER. IT WAS AT
THIS TIME THAT
FROST MET FELLOW
POETS EZRA POUND AND EDWARD
THOMAS, WERE THE FIRST TO
REVIEW HIS WORK
IN A FAVORABLE
LIGHT , AS WELL AS PROVIDE
SIGNIFICANT ENCOURAGEMENT .
FROST CREDITED THOMAS’S
LONG WALKS OVER
THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE
AS THE INSPIRATION
FOR ONE OF
HIS MOST FAMOUS
POEMS, “ THE ROAD NOT
TAKEN .” APPARENTLY,
THOMAS’S INDECISION AND
REGRET REGARDING WHAT
PATHS TO TAKE
INSPIRED FROST’S WORK. THE
TIME FROST SPENT
IN ENGLAND WAS
ONE OF THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT PERIODS
IN HIS LIFE, BUT IT
WAS SHORT LIVED. SHORTLY AFTER
WORLD WAR 1 BROKE OUT
IN AUGUST 1914,
FROST AND ELINOR
WERE FORCED TO RETURN
TO AMERICA.
WHEN FROST
ARRIVED BACK HOME , HIS
REPUTATION HAD PRECEDED
HIM, AND HE WAS
WELL- RECEIVED BY THE
LITERARY WORLD . HIS NEW
PUBLISHER , HENRY HOLT ,WHO
WOULD REMAIN WITH HIM
FOR THE REST
OF HIS , HAD PURCHASED
ALL OF THE COPIES
OF NORTH OF
BOSTON , AND IN 1916, HE
PUBLISHED FROST’S MOUNTAIN INTERVAL, A COLLECTION OF
OTHER WORK THAT HE CREATED
WHILE IN ENGLAND , INCLUDING A
TRIBUTE TO THOMAS . JOURNALS SUCH
AS THE ATLANTIC
MONTHLY , WHO HAD TURNED FROST DOWN WHEN HE SUBMITTED WORK
EARLIER ,NOW CAME CALLING .FROST FAMOUSLY SENT THE ATLANTIC
THE SAME POEMS THAT
THEY HAD REJECTED
BEFORE HIS STAY
IN ENGLAND.
IN 1915, FROST AND
ELINOR SETTLED DOWN ON A FARM THAT THEY PURCHASED
IN FRANCONIA, NEW HAMPSHIRE. THERE, FROST BEGAN
A LONG CAREER
AS A TEACHER
AT SEVERAL COLLEGES, RECITING POETRY TO
EAGER CROWDS AND WRITING ALL
THE WHILE . HE TAUGHT
AT DARTMOUTH AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT
VARIOUS TIMES , BUT
HIS MOST SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATION
WAS WITH AMHERST
COLLEGE , WHERE HE TAUGHT
STEADILY DURING THE PERIOD
FROM 1916 TO 1938, AND WHERE THE MAIN
LIBRARY IS NOW
NAMED IN HIS HONOR . FOR
A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 40
YEARS BEGINNING IN
1921 , FROST ALSO SPENT ALMOST EVERY
SUMMER AND FALL AT MIDDLE BURY COLLEGE , TEACHING
ENGLISH ON ITS
CAMPUS IN RIP TON , VERMONT.
DURING HIS LIFETIME , FROST WOULD RECEIVE MORE THAN 40 HONORARY DEGREES, AND IN 1924 , HE WAS AWARDED HIS FIRST OF FOUR PULITZER PRIZES , FOR HIS BOOK NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE WOULD SUBSEQUENTLY WIN PULITZER FOR COLLECTED POEMS (1931), A FURTHER RANGE (1937) AND A WITNESS TREE (1943).
AMIDST THESE SUCCESSES , FROST’S FAMILY
WAS DEALT ANOTHER
TRAGIC BLOW WHEN ELINOR
DIED IN 1938. DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER IN
1937 AND HAVING
UNDERGONE SURGERY , SHE ALSO
HAD HAD A
LONG HISTORY OF
HEART TROUBLE , TO WHICH
SHE ULTIMATELY SUCCUMBED. THE SAME
YEAR AS HIS
WIFE’S DEATH , FROST LEFT
HIS TEACHING POSITION AT AMHERST
COLLEGE.

GOLD MEDAL. A YEAR
LATER , AT THE AGE
OF 86, FROST WAS
HONORED WHEN ASKED
TO WRITE AND RECITE A POEM FOR
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY’S
INAUGURATION . HIS SIGHT NOW
FALLING , HE WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE
THE WORDS IN THE
SUNLIGHT AND SUBSTITUTE
THE READING OF
ONE OF HIS POEMS ,’’ THE
GIFT OUTRIGHT,’’ WHICH
HE HAD COMMITTED TO MEMORY.
