Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) Navigation Biography of Edwin Arlington Robinson Poems by Robinson Biography of Edwin Arlington Robinson Edwin Arlington Robinson was a poet of transition. He lived at the time following the Civil War when America was rebuilding and changing rapidly and when the dominant values of the country seemed to be growing increasingly materialistic. Robinson's poetry was transitional, evaluating the present by using traditional forms and by including elements of transcendentalism and puritanism. Robinson spent his childhood in a small town in Maine, a town which furnished him a setting for many of his poems as well as models for his characters. His father was a prosperous merchant; his mother had been a schoolteacher. The parents were primarily interested in their two older sons and tended to ignore Edwin, though they recognized his exceptional intelligence. While fond of his family, Edwin felt himself an outsider among them, as he also felt alienated from the society of his town. Melville , who had spent the last lonely years of his life there, haunted by the feeling that he had failed as a writer.

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) Contributing Editor: Nancy Carol Joyner Classroom Issues and Strategies Robert Stevick has said that "Robinson's poetry deserves the attention it does not contrive to attract" (Barnard, Centenary Essays , 66). To introduce Robinson's subtlety, read the poems out loud and more than once. Robinson once told a reader who confessed to being confused about his poetry that he should read the poems one word at a time. Robinson was very sensitive to the sound of words and complained of not liking his name because it sounded like a tin can being kicked down the stairs. He also said that poetry must be music. This musical quality is best perceived by reading his poetry aloud. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues Robinson is a "people poet," writing almost exclusively about individuals or individual relationships rather than on more common themes of the nineteenth century. He exhibits a curious mixture of irony and compassion toward his subjectsmost of whom are failuresthat allows him to be called a romantic existentialist. He is a true precursor to the modernist movement in poetry, publishing his first volume in 1896, a decade notable from the point of view of poetry in America only because of one other publication: the first, posthumous, volume of poems by Emily Dickinson . As the introduction emphasizes, many of Robinson's poems are more autobiographical than their seeming objectivity indicates immediately.

Site Orientation Heath Orientation Timeline Access Author Profile Pages by: Table of Contents Authors by Name Authors by Year Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Edwin Arlington Robinson America’s first important poet of the twentieth century, Edwin Arlington Robinson is also the most prolific. Unlike his more prominent contemporaries—Frost, Stevens, Eliot, and Williams—Robinson devoted his energies exclusively to the writing of poetry. For that reason his life is markedly unremarkable, but he published an astonishing twenty volumes of poems which were eventually combined into Collected Poems, a volume of nearly 1500 pages. It is a Robinsonian irony that today he is known for only a handful of poems of the sort he once complained were “pickled in anthological brine.” He grew up in Gardiner, Maine, the “Tilbury Town” of his poetry, spent two years at Harvard, and went home to Maine where he published privately his first volume, The Torrent and The Night Before

Edwin Arlington Robinson Edwin Arlington Robinson was born December 22nd, 1869 at Head Tide, Main. He was the son of Edward and Mary E. (Palmer) Robinson. In 1870 the family moved from Head Tide to Gardiner, Maine, where he recieved his early education at Gardiner High School. After graduating high school, he went on to attend Harvard College from 1891 to 1893. Between 1897 and 1898 he lived in New York then returned to live there permanently in 1900. He chose New York so that he could be close to other writers. His first works, The Torrent and The Night Before , were printed in 1896 on a limited number of personally printed pamphlets which are now extremely rare. In 1897 his second volume, the first to be offered to the public, was published and entitled The Children of the Night Edwin Arlington Robinson worked in other occupations, but he mainly focused on poetry. From 1903 to 1904, he was employed by the New York subway as an inspecector. Between 1905 and 1909, he worked at the Custom House in New York doing office work. He obtained that job through influence by President Roosevelt who was a fan of Arlington's poetry. He eventually left that occupation behind to dedicate all his time to writing poetry. Between 1897 and 1922, Robinson has had eight volumes of poetry and two plays published along with the book

Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) Richard Cory Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at Him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich yes, richer than a king And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.
