Robert Frost (1874—1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century, a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens. In his life, Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works—more than any other poet in American history. His most famous poems include The Road Not Taken, Fire and Ice and Stopping by Woods on a Sno w y E v ening. Though he is widely read, Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity(复杂性) of his poems.

Though born in California, Frost was brought up in New England, where he is inseparably(不可分离的) linked. After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream, he remained upset for years, producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile. Finally, Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his work might be better received in London. It was, and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain.
