Person, Place, and World: A Late-modern Reading of Robert FrostRobert Frost's writing is continually solicited by the complexity and interrogative nature of perception itself and constitutes an extended and nuanced demonstration of the perceptual life and its discovery and exploration of the world. For this reason the concepts we find in phenomenology, and in particular in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty on the nature of perception and its broader ontological implications, are particularly relevant for understanding this body of poetry. |
