LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY 1 Elective English—IV Notes 1.1 About Robert Frost Figure 1.1: Robert Frost Source: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Jb_modern_frost_2_e.jpg Born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874, Robert Frost was a highly regarded American poet. He relocated to New England at a tender age of eleven. His interest in reading and writing poetry grew when he was in high school in Lawrence in Massachusetts. In 1892, Robert got admission in Dartmouth College. He later took admission in Harvard, but he never earned a formal degree. After leaving school, Robert floated through a series of occupations. He worked as a teacher, cobbler, and an editor of the Lawrence Sentinel. Robert, in 1895, married Elinor Miriam White. His wife, who died in 1938, was a major inspiration behind his poetry till she took her last breath. After their New Hampshire farm failed, the couple relocated to England in 1912. It was abroad that Robert met contemporary British poets such as Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas and Robert Graves and got influenced by them. During his stay in England, Robert became friends with poet Ezra Pound, who helped in promoting and publishing his work. About Robert, President John F. Kennedy said, “He has bequeathed his nation a body of imperishable verse from which Americans will forever gain joy and understanding.” Robert Frost resided and taught in Massachusetts and Vermont for several years, before he died in Boston on 29th January, 1963. Robert Lee Frost is greatly regarded for his command on American colloquial speech and for his lifelike depictions of rural life. His work often employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to study complicated philosophical and social themes. A very famous and often-quoted poet, Robert Frost was honoured repeatedly during his lifetime and he received four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. 1.1.1 Early Years Robert Frost was born to Isabelle Moodie and journalist William Prescott Frost, Jr. His father descended from Nicholas Frost of Tiverton, Devon, England, who had sailed to New Hampshire in 1634 on the Wolfrana and his mother was of Scottish descent. Frost’s father started his career as a teacher. He later worked as an editor of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin which later merged into the San Francisco Examiner. He was also an unsuccessful candidate for city tax collector. After Frost’s father’s death in May 5, 1885, in due course time his family moved to Lawrence in Massachusetts with support from Robert’s grandfather, William 2 LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY Unit 1: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost Frost, Sr., who was a supervisor at a New England mill. In 1892, Frost graduated from Lawrence Notes High School. Frost’s mother joined the Swedenborgian Church and had Frost baptized in it, but he later left it as an adult. In spite of his later association with rural life, Robert grew up in the city. His first poem was published in his high school’s magazine. Frost also went to Dartmouth College to be accepted into the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. Frost went back to his hometown to teach and to do several jobs like delivering factory labour and newspapers. He did not enjoy any of these jobs and felt that he wanted to be a poet. 1.1.2 Adult Years Robert sold his first poem, “My Butterfly: An Elegy” in 1894. This poem was published for fifteen dollars in the November 8, 1894 edition of the New York Independent. Proud of this achievement, he proposed Elinor Miriam White, for marriage but she showed reluctance because she wanted to finish college before they both got married. Frost after returning from his excursion to the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia, asked Elinor again for marriage. She agreed as she had graduated by then. They then married at Harvard University, where Robert did liberal arts studies for two years. He performed well at Harvard, but left from there to support his family. Robert’s grandfather shortly before his death purchased a farm in Derry, New Hampshire for Robert and his wife. Robert worked in that farm for a span of nine years. During this period, he would wake up and write early in the morning. He produced several poems that later became famous. Frost did not succeed in his farming career and returned to field of education. He taught as an English teacher at Pinkerton Academy from 1906 to 1911, then at the New Hampshire Normal School which is now called Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Robert sailed with his family to Great Britain in 1912, residing first in Glasgow before finally settling in Beaconsfield outside London. A Boy’s Will, which was Robert’s first book of poetry, was published next year. In England he made several significant connections with T.E. Hulme, Edward Thomas (a member of the Dymock Poets group) and Ezra Pound. Pound would be the first American to write a favourable review of Robert’s work. Surrounded by his friends, Robert penned some of his best work during his stay in England. As World War I began, Robert went back to America in 1915. He purchased a farm in Franconia, New Hampshire, where he indulged in teaching, writing and lecturing. This family farmhouse served as the family’s summer home till 1938. It is preserved today as ‘The Frost Place’, a poetry conference site and museum at Franconia. During the years 1916–20, 1923–24, and 1927–1938, Robert taught English at Amherst College, Massachusetts, particularly inspiring his students to explain the sounds of human voice in their writings. From 1921 to 1963, Robert spent nearly every summer and fall teaching at the Bread Loaf School of English of Middlebury College, at the mountain campus at Ripton, Vermont. He is recognised as a major influence upon the development of the school. Its writing programs; the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference gained immense popularity during Frost’s term there. The college now owns and keeps his former Ripton farmstead near the Bread Loaf campus as a national historic site. Robert accepted a fellowship teaching post at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1921, where he lived till 1927. Frost was given a lifetime appointment at the University as a Fellow in Letters. The Robert Frost Ann Arbor home is now located at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn in Michigan. Robert returned to Amherst in 1927.

  • Violence Against Women
    An Open Access Journal from The Law Brigade (Publishing) Group 233 THE STIFLED VOICES: VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Written by Vasundhara Mahajan* & Rhythm Aggarwal** * 5th Year BCOM LLB Student, Amity Law School Noida, Amity University, Uttar Pradesh ** 5th Year BCOM LLB Student, Amity Law School Noida, Amity University, Uttar Pradesh It’s unfortunate, that we live in the part of a world where women do not want to wake up from sleep, where offences like rape are feared more than death, where 1000 mouths are stuffed and words are shoved. Brutish is the world that leaves tyranny at the hands of men and female voices carried away into silent screams of delirium. Newspapers are flooded and the world talks about sexual assault, but still, rapists go Scott free on the ground no marks on his penis, whereas a ruptured hymen and bite marks on the victim’s body sum up to no resistance. Dating back to history during the early vedic period women were dignified and offered a respectable status in the society, women hood was considered an honourable position, moreover there was sheer agony against the dowry system. In fact the “ladies first” concept was also introduced during the manusmriti tenure. With passage of time the position of women got polluted and eventually deteriorated where they were denied education, were overloaded with responsibilities, a girl child was seen as a burden on the shoulders of the family. Besides this motherhood had been magnified as indemnity of an imposed reality of life in which women were merely consummated for a male progeny.

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Private Bankers in Ontario Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario
    HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO HAYSEED CAPITALISTS: PRIVATE BANKERS IN ONTARIO by STEPHEN EDWARD mORNING, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University August, 1994 -- -- --- - --------------- DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Hayseed Capitalists: Private Bankers in Ontario AUTHOR: Stephen Edward Thorning, B.A. (University of Guelph) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVJSOR: Professor John C. Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 502 ii ABSTRACT The structure of the Canadian banking system, and the establishment of strong chartered banks at a relatively early stage, have overshadowed banking institutions that operated outside the chartered system. The non-chartered or private banks can be categorized into three groups: the joint stock banks of the 1830s, the urban private bankers who appeared in the 1850s and after, and the small-town private banks of the post-1868 period. AJI three types of private banks were established to fill perceived niches in the chartered bank system. Those of the 1830s possessed an anti-establishment, hinterland bias. The urban private bankers specialized in savings and foreign exchange transactions, and often branched out into insurance, debentures, and ultimately stocks and bonds. The small town private banks began and prospered when the needs of small hinterland communities outpaced the inclination and ability of chartered banks to provide them with banking facilities. Unlike the urban private bankers, those in small towns offered a full range of banking services, and they often acted as insurance and real estate agencies as well.
