About the Author

Robert Lowell (1917-1977) was born in Boston. He was recogniz ed as an accomplished poet in his own lifetime, and along with Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman and Sylvia Plath he created the fashion and generated the force of American poetry over the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Life Studies, published in 1959, marked a watershed. It initiated an autobiographical project which would dominate his oeuvre thereafter, and is now regarded as one of the most influential books of the century. He received a Pulitzer prize for Lord Weary's Castle (1946) and another for The Dolphin (1973).
