Abstract

Robert Frost is one of the prominent writers of the modern age of the 20^th century. The term “Modern” is frequently applied to the literature written since the beginning of World War I in 1914. Chaos, moral degradation and violence are the major characteristics of this period that leads to alienation. Thomas Hardy, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf are among those modern writers who dealt with the theme of alienation. In the forthcoming chapters Alienation, the major theme found in Robert Frost’s poetry, has been dealt.
