Description
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. Robert Frost won the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes with New Hampshire, first published in 1923. It includes many of his most enduring and best-known poems, including 'Nothing Gold Can Stay', 'Fire and Ice', 'The Need of Being Versed in Country Things' and 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'. Praised for its realistic depiction of rural life in New England during the early twentieth century, Robert Frost's poetry has endured with modern readers for its examination of social and philosophical issues. Still considered one of America's greatest ever poets, New Hampshire will move new and old readers alike with Frost's profound grasp of the human condition.
Author Biography
Born in San Francisco in 1874, Robert Frost was one of America's leading 20th-century poets and a four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. An essentially pastoral poet often associated with rural New England, Frost wrote poems whose philosophical dimensions transcend any region. Frost's poetic and political conservatism caused him to lose favour with some literary critics, but his reputation as a major poet is secure. Frost died in Boston in 1963.
