Robert Lee Frost: A Real Revolutionist With High Political Insight and Nationalism
Abstract
This paper focuses on the philosophy of politics, nationalism and other notable but rarely recognised themes of the world class American poet Robert Lee Frost. In order to identify these themes some of the poems of Robert Frost have been taken under consideration from his vast areas of poetry collection. The poetry of Robert Frost dealt not only with the pastoral and common elements of life and nature but also the awareness of the problems of man living in the modern world dominated by the philosophy of politics. His poetry portrays the actual values of human being which can be brought through the real thinking of the real politicians. People are living in the state of regret, frustration and disillusionment that are expected to be solved and overcome by the dedication and determination of the democratic minded political persons reflected in the poetry of Frost. In this paper the data are based on the secondary sources. Frost’s masterly genius is well reflected in his poetry where he portrays the concrete details that constitute the scenes and action from which his poems spring. He also had a life full of struggle, hardship and sorrow which made him realize the actual problems of human being.
