Edwin Arlington Robinson
`Traditional yet original, realistic but not in the reductive sense, he is too good to be forgotten.' ROBERTSON DAVIES Robinson's Arthurian poems, published between 1917 and 1927, won him a Pulitzer prize and yet are almost unknown today. With his introspective New England style and quiet tone, he brilliantly catches the tension between reason and passion that drives the characters of the Arthurian stories: these are modern lovers, with the philosophical and psychological concerns of the early 20th century. The sense of vision, and the feeling that the world of Arthur mirrors the fate of all mankind, binds the diverse characters together, and makes Robinson's poems essential reading for everyone interested in the Arthurian legend in the twentieth century.

The best of Edwin Arlington Robinson's poetry rings with a lyrical and emotional purity and singularity that should assure his place as one of the treasured poets of his generation ...

Presenting Robinson as both a man and a poet, "with some emphasis on the split between the two," the book delves deeply into Robinson's life and works, brilliantly characterizes the era and the region to which he belonged, and reveals how Robinson obeyed yet transcended the exigencies of both, as well as those of his personal heritage and experience. The author surveys the entire canon of Robinson's poetry, from the earliest works, the masterful vignettes, through the Arthurian poems on to the last poems, the long narratives such as "Amarinth" and "King Jasper." The book offers enriching new perspectives on both Robinson and his poetry and a new understanding of his poetic vision: "What he saw, he saw steadily . . . what often redeems a flawed poem and ensures a sound one is his awareness of other people and his Wordsworthian conviction that the poet was only a man like other men, but in a particular way, more so. The more so is what counts."
