Biography of Robert Frost
Robert Lee Frost, named after the confederate general Robert E. Lee, was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874. Frost was home schooled and taught by his mother, Isabelle Moodie, for the first ten years of his life. (Robert, 1) His father, William Prescott Frost Jr., was a journalist and local politician. He died when Frost was 11 leaving his mother to raise the family. His mother supported her family as a school teacher. Shortly after his fathers’ death, the family moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts with Frost's paternal grandfather (Literature, 1). Frost attended Lawrence High School, where he first began to find a pleasure in writing. He published his first poem in Lawrence High School’s Bulletin in April of 1980. He published several more times before graduating as valedictorian and going on to attend Dartmouth
In 1912, at the age of 38, Frost sold a farm he had been living on with his family, and moved himself, his wife, and his four young children to England. There he could devote all his time to writing. Success didn’t take long as he quickly published “A Boy’s Will” followed a year later by “North of Boston.” Frost’s poems received great reviews and his fame began to grow (Biography, 1). In 1894, the New York Independent published Frost’s first poem “My Butterfly” and he also had five poems privately printed. In 1895 he married a former schoolmate, Elinor White, whom he later had six children with. (Literature, 1) Frost published his next two books in 1923, Selected Poems and New Hampshire, and in 1928 to 1935, West-Running Brook, an expanded edition of Selected Poems, Collected Poems, and A Further Range were published.
