Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. Large 8vo. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. xxxii, 809 pp, introduction, editorial procedures, I-XLVIII (1890s-1962 + Undated); notes, acknowledgments, index. First Edition, 2006. "Robert Frost (874-1963) is one of the most misunderstood of modern writers. He was also an inveterate note-taker, penning thousands of intense aphoristic thoughts, observations, and meditations in small pocket pads and school theme books throughout his life. These notebooks, transcribed and presented here in their entirety for the first time, offer unprecedented insight into Frost's complex and often highly contradictory thinking about poetics, politics, education, psychology, science, and religion--his attitude toward Marxism, the New Deal, World War--as well as Yeats, Pound, Santayana, and William James. Covering a period from the late 1890s to early 1960s, the notebooks convey the restless and probing quality of his thought, and show how the unruliness of chaotic modernity was always just beneath his appearance of supreme poetic control. Edited by preeminent Frost scholar Robert Faggen and annotated to help readers with the poet's more elusive references, the notebooks are also thoroughly cross-referenced, marking thematic connections within these and Frost's other writings, including his poetry, letters, and other prose." Not Price Clipped. 3/4" closed tear to top edge rear panel near spine dj, else, Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Black half-cloth with grey paper-covered boards, and gilt lettering to spine..
