The book is not merely as a fine introduction to Frost, but also an anthology, informed by careful textual scholarship. Frost has found an ideal audience in Timothy Kendall."-Mark Richardson, Doshisha University, "Clean and lucid--a delight to read - Kendall's readings are astute and well-tempered.

Kendall's 'readings' are lucid, persuasive, and blessedly jargon-free.
