The ultimate problem of a Frost biographer is to see if the biographer can be enough of a psychologist to get far enough back into the formative years of Robert Frost to try to understand and explain what forces were operative, back there, to create the curious forms of neurosis which Robert Frost had to struggle with throughout most of his life. Of course such an approach, on the part of the biographer, is dangerous-very dangerous. -Lawrance Thompson, notes for a lecture to the Literary Fellowship in October I968
