Strange Ordinariness in Robert Frost: A Review

Nabaneeta Bhatta

Abstract: Robert Lee Frost is very famous and an oft-quoted poet. He is highly appreciated and admired for his realistic portrayal of rural life and his great expertise on American colloquial speech. Most of his astonishing works circle around the rural life settings in New England during early twentieth century. He used his own work to analyze complicated social and philosophical themes. While experimentalist twentieth century poets were falling over themselves to find new modes of expression, Frost reawakened readers to the power of the pastoral, the classic symbols of nature and countryside. This paper is a journey through this strange ordinariness in the pages of the celebrated poet-Robert Frost.
