Question

Frost was a writer situated at the crossroads of nineteenth-century romanticism and twentieth-century modernism. He failed to adhere to the stylistic and literary views of either movement, and as such cannot be placed in any genre aside from his own. The influence of romanticism is prevalent in his work, though, and can be seen in the use of lone travelers in many of his poems. This is apparent in the opening lines of "The Road Not Taken":

3Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.


The vast majority of Frost’s work was based in rural New England landscapes like the yellow wood mentioned above and aimed to reveal ordinary objects of the countryside in an extraordinary manner. By using nature, isolated individuals, and the everyday chores and labors of rural New Englanders, he was able to educate the speaker about his inner self, touch upon the subjects of youth, the loss of innocence, and the relationship between man and nature through his masterful use of New England diction.
