罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗中的象征与提喻 Symbolism and Synecdoche in Robert Frost’s Poetry Abstract: The First World War made America a different country, and its literature underwent a substantial change. The 1920s saw a vigorous literary activity in America. Robert Frost (1874— 1963) is one of the greatest poets in the 20th century American literature. Four times of the Pulitzer Prize winner, Frost became the nation’s unofficial Poet Laureate and in 1961 recited his poem “The Gift Outright” at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy, a rare case in American history. His works often set in rural New England. Natural surroundings give him much inspiration and trigger his imagination. His work is often “deceptively simple”, and can be read very often on many levels. His poetry is rich in connotations and many poems suggest a deeper meaning. Robert Frost is skillful in using a number of symbols in his poetry, which make his poetry possess a quality of symbolic implication. His abundant use of symbols in his poems makes his poems seemingly describe the beauty of nature, but indeed they contain some philosophic significance. Robert Frost also claimed that he is a synecdochist.
