Introduction

While 'A Boy’s Will' informed the world that a new talent was on the horizon, 'North of Boston' proclaimed loudly that that talent had arrived. This extraordinary book of poetry put Robert Frost at the forefront of American poetry: a position he would occupy for the rest of his life.

This edition, unlike most other editions, has been carefully restored to its original first edition form preserving line spacing and formatting.

Reviews

"The best poetry written in America in a long time." — William Butler Yeats
