Peter J. Stanlis is Distinguished Professor of Humanities, Emeritus, at Rockford College. The author of Edmund Burke and the Natural Law, which appeared in 1955 and revolutionized the way Burke was viewed by scholars, he promised Frost in 1944 that he would someday write the best book about Frost's art and thought that he had it in him to write. Stanlis's previous monograph on Frost is titled Robert Frost: The Individual and Society.
Peter Stanlis has written a book that meets the highest standards of literary scholarship and criticism. [It] will be among the best ever written about Robert Frost. - Chronicles ""'The height of all poetic thinking,' wrote Frost in 1931, is the 'attempt to say matter in terms of spirit and spirit in terms of matter.' Peter J. Stanlis has given us a full and penetrating account of the metaphysical dualism that underpinned all of Frost's thinking - about poetry, religion, society, even science. This is a marvelous, deep study of the man who was, many will be surprised to learn, one of the most cerebral poets that ever lived."" - John Derbyshire
