North of Boston, Robert Frost’s second book of verse and arguably his greatest, brought him suddenly into national prominence in 1915. Exploring Frost’s complex connection to his poetic characters, this study provides new readings of the individual poems and a new look at North of Boston’s development. To a degree no other study has done, it addresses the book’s design as an artistic whole while placing it in the context of Frost’s unfolding career. Reception to follow program
