"To Otto as of Old"
"To Otto as of Old"
THE letters written by Robert Frost to Otto Manthey-Zorn, his friend and colleague at Amherst College, are among the more substantial and engaging clusters of correspondence that were not represented by Lawrance Thompson in Selected Letters of Robert Frost.' Although they rarely turn with any directness to matters of poetry, Frost's letters to his friend, accompaniment to a lifetime of close and convivial talk, open expansively upon his varied av…

Lawrance Thompson's controversial three-volume biography of Frost, published during the 1960s, lead many readers to believe that Frost was selfish, jealous, petty, and ruthlessly manipulative of others. While it doesn't attempt to revive the image of Frost a…
Robert Frost and the Lockless Door
IN his 1929 preface to A Way Out, Robert Frost closed by declaring, Here for once I have written a play without (as I should like to believe) having gone very far from where I have spent my life.'1 He was telling a truth in a number of ways. Frost had indeed not strayed far from the psychological probing and dialogue form of many of the North of Boston poems, and he had retained his New England setting and characters. Most intriguingly, however, …
