Robert Lee Frost was an American poet, possibly the most well-known of the twentieth century's American poets. Frost grew up in an era when modernism was the dominant literary movement in both America and Europe. Frost, on the other hand, was a resolutely anti-modern poet, unlike his contemporaries. He used the same literary tropes that have been used in English from the beginning of poetry: rhyme, metre, and regimented stanzas, dismissing free verse with the witty remark, "I'd just as well play tennis with the net down."

Traditional poetic forms were widely abandoned as outmoded in modernist poetry.

Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, where his father, William Prescott Frost, Jr., and his mother, Isabelle Moodie, had moved from Pennsylvania shortly after marrying.
