Robert Frost:
Old England nurtured
New England poet. |
On this day in 1923, The New Republic first published "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." By that time, Robert Frost had become firmly established as an American poet. His success, however, had been established through exile. His early years were a struggle, marked by rejection, and in 1912 he moved his wife and children to England where he could "be poor without causing further scandal to the family." Writing about New England from Old England, Frost found publishers for two books of poetry, which were later republished in American editions. In 1915, he returned to the United States with his reputation made.
