Mountain Interval - Robert Frost

. .

Résumé :
Mountain Interval is Robert Frost's third poetry collection and one of the central early books in his career. First published in 1916, the volume includes some of Frost's best-known poems, among them The Road Not Taken, Birches, Out, Out-, An Old Man's Winter Night, The Oven Bird, and The Sound of Trees. The collection shows Frost working with the New England landscape, rural labour, solitude, memory, danger, and the difficult moral weight carried by ordinary choices. Measured in language but often unsettling in implication, Mountain Interval presents Frost at the point where his public reputation was becoming firmly established. These poems are rooted in fields, woods, roads, farms, seasons, and household life, yet their concerns are never merely pastoral. They examine decision, loss, mortality, childhood, work, and the uneasy boundary between human intention and the natural world. For readers of American poetry, twentieth-century literature, New England writing, and classic verse, Mountain Interval remains an essential Robert Frost collection.d emotion . . . he is quite consciously and definitely putting New England life into verse. -Ezra Pound The best poetry written in America in a long time.- William Butler Yeats...

Sommaire:
Robert Frost was one of the major American poets of the twentieth century, known for poems that joined plain speech, formal control, rural New England settings, and a deeply searching understanding of human choice, isolation, labour, loss, and endurance. Born in San Francisco in 1874 and long associated with New England, Frost became famous for work that seemed direct and accessible on the surface while carrying considerable philosophical and emotional force beneath it. His major collections include A Boy's Will, North of Boston, Mountain Interval, New Hampshire, West-Running Brook, and A Further Range.Frost's reputation rests on poems that have become central to American literature, including The Road Not Taken, Mending Wall, Birches, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Fire and Ice, and Out, Out-. He received four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry and became one of the most widely read and quoted poets in the English language. His work continues to appeal to readers of American poetry, classic literature, nature writing, New England literature, and twentieth-century verse because of its rare combination of memorable language, formal discipline, dramatic voice, and moral ambiguity....
