CHOICE Review
Wonderfully handy, this reference book for Frost's work is like no other. The editors succeed admirably in creating a place to help readers begin to "make [themselves] at home among the poems," mindful of Frost's warning against "too much analysis." Individual entries for each poem form the greater part of the book, giving its publishing history, biographical and historical context, some explication, and a range of critical perspectives from early readings to "enduring 'takes'" and newer approaches. Entries on popular poems ("Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening") can be three pages long; more obscure poems may get ten lines. Far more selective entries cover people, places, events, ideas, and literary forms important to Frost. One might wish for more entries on members of Frost's family, but the editors decided to embed nearly all familial references in other entries. Examples of the thoughtful features that make this single volume useful include references to good sources with every entry; an ample, well-designed index; and cross-references from the poems to entries on topics (Frost's ideas about science, nature, or poetic theories) and forms or places (lyric, prose, England, Harvard). Highly recommended, despite its price, for any collection with more than faint interest in the work of this important US poet. M. H. Loe SUNY College at OswegoAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
