| Summary: | Regarded as America's best-loved poet in the mid-twentieth century, biographers created conflicting images of Robert Frost and his legacy after his death. In "Love and need," Adam Plunkett combines biography and literary criticism to uncover a more nuanced portrait of the man. Through close readings of his work, Plunkett highlights the ways in which Frost's poetry mirrored significant relationships in his life, including the fraught relationship with biographer Lawrance Thompson, whose scathing, three-part work published after the poet's death had a lasting impact on his reputation. |
