Abstract
In Robert Frost’s oeuvre the poetry book or volume is an important unit or scale for the composition, reception, and interpretation of poetry, but its formal parameters and generic conventions have been understudied. Focusing on the arrangement of poems within Frost’s first five books, and then their eventual derangement in his first Collected Poems, I examine Frost’s conflicting convictions on the question of the independence of each individual poem versus the coherence of several in an integrated collection.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1903, Modern Philology sets the standard for literary scholarship, history, and criticism. In addition to innovative and scholarly articles (in English) on literature in all modern world languages, MP also publishes insightful book reviews of recent books as well as review articles and research on archival documents. Editor Richard Strier is happy to announce that we now welcome contributions on literature in non-European languages and contributions that productively compare texts or traditions from European and non-European literatures. In general, we expect contributions to be written in (or translated into) English, and we expect quotations from non-English languages to be translated into English as well as reproduced in the original.
