Description
Robert Frost is by far the most celebrated major American poet of the twentieth century. This book argues that Frost was not just a powerful writer of popular lyric and narrative verse, rather, his work is deeply rooted in a complex philosophical dualism that opposes both idealistic monism and scientific positivism.

Persons
Peter J. Stanlis is Distinguished Professor of Humanities, Emeritus, at Rockford College. The author of Edmund Burke and the Natural Law, which appeared in 1955 and revolutionized the way Burke was viewed by scholars, he promised Frost in 1944 that he would someday write the best book about Frost's art and thought that he had it in him to write. Stanlis's previous monograph on Frost is titled Robert Frost: The Individual and Society.
