Robert Frost ( 1874—1963) 1874 1963)
Member of a New England family, Frost was born in San Francisco and taken at the age of ten to the New England farm country with which his poetry is identified. A short period at Harvard was followed by further work, making shoes, editing a country newspaper, teaching school, and finally farming. This background of craftsmanship and husbandry had its effect upon his poetry in more than the choice of subjects, for he demanded that his verse be as simple and honest as an axe or hoe. After a long period of farming, he moved to England (1912—1915), where he published his first book of poems, A Boy’s Will (1913).

During 1920s and 1930s, appeared “Harlem Renaissance”, a burst of literary achievement by Negro artists. After WWⅡ, a new generation of American authors wrote in the skeptical, ironic tone. In the 1960s and 70s, they turned increasingly to experimental techniques.
