Robert Frost

"Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874. He moved to New England at the age of eleven and became interested in reading and writing poetry during his high school years in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He was enrolled at Dartmouth College in 1892, and later at Harvard, though he never earned a formal degree."

His literal work began in 1894, when he sells his first poem, called "My Butterfly: An Elegy", the next year, he married Elinor Miriam White in Harvard University where he later studied liberal arts for two years. Elinor will soon became his most important source of inspiration.

After leaving Harvard in 1897 to support his family Robert and Miriam moved to a farm that his grandfather had bought before die. Here he worked for many years and also wrote most part of his poems, which in the future would become famous.

in 1912 he moved to Grat Britain with her wife, due to the unsuccessful development of his farm. in England, Frost was influenced by the works of many british authors, who also helped to project his incoming projects.

Therefore, Frost's work won't be recognized after WW1 when he publishes  A Boy's Will and North of Boston.
 
In general aspects, we can say that Frost's work aboards many universal and meditative themes, which often can lead to some dark and deep reflections, all these framed in the rural New England's life
