Edwin Arlington Robinson was a prolific American poet during the 1920s. This book approaches one of the critical features of Robinson's poetry, often overlooked by critics, which is his method of narration. Narration is one of the crucial points in Robinson's poetry that puzzles his critics. Robinson's poems are portraits that include characters, setting, a method of narration and all other points that fit any narrative piece. This book takes as its point of departure the idea that unless Robinson's narrative approach is discussed, no proper understanding of his poems will be achieved.The book deals with the influence of New England and Puritanism on the poet's life and works. The book studies the poet's shorter and longer poems. It also includes the study of his masterpiece 'The Man Against the Sky.'
