Contours of Rural Imagination: Exploring the World of Robert Frost

Abstract

This paper explores Robert Frost’s poetic imagination deeply intertwined with rural sensibility and natural landscapes. His verse captures the rhythms of New England’s countryside—not as romantic idyll, but as a space where human solitude, moral complexity, and spiritual inquiry unfold. Frost’s rural settings serve not merely as background but as mirrors to internal human struggles and quiet revelations. The paper analyzes how his use of everyday language and pastoral imagery opens profound philosophical portals, mapping an interior journey through the outer world of farms, fences, woods, and seasons.
