Abstract
T HE VOLUME OF ROBERT FROST'S POETRY entitled Complete Poems (1949) covers his varied production from before the turn of this century up through his poetic drama, The Masque of Mercy (I947). Even a casual reading shows that Frost's poetry is not homogeneous in form and subject matter. The self-conscious lyrics of A Boy's Will (1913) give way to the dialogues of country folk in North of Boston (I914) and the urbane and witty poems of the following years. Critics have shown alarm in dealing with the poetry of Frost as a whole, for many fail to recognize any line of continuity in this varied collection. Thus Frost has been accused of lacking a consistent point of view and of rejecting out of hand all firm systems of human value. George W. Nitchie compares him unfavorably on this point with his contemporaries Yeats and Eliot.
