Hardcover. First trade edition, first printing. This first trade edition, first printing, of Frost's third Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection is inscribed, signed, and dated by Frost in the year of publication. Inked in three lines at the head of the title page, Frost wrote: "Robert Frost | Plymouth 1936 | For Elizabeth R. Elkins". On the facing blank half title verso, the recipient, Elizabeth Elkins, inscribed and signed the book in five lines in pencil: "To | Almira Taylor | September 1936 | from | Elizabeth R. Elkins". The only other previous ownership mark in the book is the name "Almira Brown Taylor" inked on the upper front free endpaper recto. The inscriptions and names allow us to determine the initial chain of ownership with some confidence. Frost inscribed this book for Elizabeth R. Elkins in the year of publication, so sometime on or after publication (May 1936). In September, no more than four months after Frost's own inscription, Elkins then gifted the book to Almira Brown Taylor. It would have been a fitting gift; Brown (1920-2016) was sixteen at the time. She eventually graduated with a degree in Library Science and worked at a variety of prestigious universities and secondary schools. She also apparently became a diligent collector; five scrapbooks of hers are now held by Duke University Archives & Manuscripts, four of which feature "literary figures, including authors, poets, playwrights, essayists, and biographers".Condition is very good plus in a very good dust jacket. The red cloth binding is square, clean, bright, and tight with sharp corners, no color shift between the covers and spine, and only the slightest shelf wear to the bottom edges. The contents show no spotting and only modest age-toning. The red-brown topstain retains uniform, unfaded color. We would grade this copy as near fine if not for old cello-tape transfer browning to the free endpaper corners caused by non-archival tape on an old dust jacket protector, now removed. The endpapers also show a little transfer browning from the pastedown glue. The dust jacket is highly complete, with only fractional loss to the spine ends and flap fold corners. The jacket shows mild spine toning, but is otherwise clean, and is now protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.A Further Range includes fifty-one poems and is divided into six parts. Some of Frost's best known lyrics are found herein, among them "Desert Places", "Neither Out Far Nor in Deep", and "A Leaf Treader". Although A Further Range, Frost's sixth book of poetry, went on to win the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, "it drew scathing attacks from leftist critics at the time of its publication for its conservative political cast." The political criticism polluted the literary, as politically liberal critics not only criticized the work, but "sought to diminish Frost's reputation" and cast his talent as waning. Although Frost called attention to the topicality of A Further Range "It has got a good deal more of the times in it than anything I ever wrote before" Frost was nonetheless "troubled and angered by these attacks." Perhaps "the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century" Robert Lee Frost (1874-1963) eventually won four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry (1924, 1931, 1937 for this volume, and 1943) and became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration (Kennedy, January 1961).

First edition of Frostâs Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of verse. Octavo, original maroon cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper with a handwritten poem, "It takes all sorts of in and outdoor schooling To get adapted to my kind of fooling. Robert Frost Washington Dec 11 1958 D.C." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. In A Further Range, Frost's lyrics, "though more playful in blending fact and fantasy, have beneath their frivolity a deep seriousness" (Hart, 269). A Further Range earned Frost the Pulitzer Prize for the best book of poetry published by an American author in 1936.

Hardcover. First trade edition, first printing. This first trade edition, first printing, of Frost's third Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection was inscribed by Frost to close friends during his final summer at his Ripton, Vermont home just five and a half months before his death. In two lines on the front free endpaper recto Frost wrote: "Robert with Victor and Louise | together at Ripton Aug 15 62". Condition is better than very good minus. The red-brown coarse linen cloth binding is square, tight, and sharp cornered, though the spine is moderately toned, the covers with a number of small, superficial blemishes. The contents are clean, age-toned but with no spotting or soiling and retaining strong, uniform red topstain. There is some offsetting to the endpapers from the pastedown glue and the ghost of what appears to be an erased surname beneath Frost's inscription. Of course, condition is secondary to the important association."Victor Reichert,rabbi of the Rockdale Avenue Temple, in Cincinnati, was one of Frost's closest friends and confidants in the final decades of the poet's life." Their friendship spanned 24 years and was the fault of Victor's wife, Louise. "Frost and Victor Reichert met in 1939 when Louise Reichert convinced her husband to see Frost speak at the Gibson Hotel in downtown Cincinnati. The rabbi, devoted to the writer Edwin Arlington Robinson, felt he didn't need another poet to follow. But Louise Reichert, a fan of Frost since her days at Smith College, prevailed. Sitting in the front row at the reading, the rabbi was instantly rapt; afterward, he asked Frost to accompany him on a car ride through Eden Park Soon after their initial meeting, Frost invited Reichert to visit him at a writers' conference in August in Vermont, where he lived. From then on, Reichert would all but close down his synagogue every summer to sojourn with his family in Frost's tiny town of Ripton."It was during the last of these summer sojourns that Frost inscribed this book for Victor and Louise. The particular significance of this particular first edition by then more than a quarter of a century old and predating their friendship by three years may never be known. We can speculate that it was poems from this 1936 volume that Frost read at the Cincinnati event where he first met the Reicherts.There was significant intellectual commerce in the friendship, even to the point that, during a 1946 visit to the Reicherts, Frost asked Rabbi Reichert if he could give the weekly sermon. Reichert accommodated, recording Frost's sermon and later surprising him with a printed version. Frost certainly had his own mind about things, but it may be no accident that 1945 and 1947 saw him publish A Masque of Reason and A Masque of Mercy, these centered on the Old Testament stories of Job and Jonah. "Frost spent the summer of 1943 talking with Rabbi Reichert about the Old Testament, with special concern for the Book of Job, on which Reichert was a recognized authority."The Reicherts were friends sufficiently close, privy, and perceptive to be regularly quoted by Frost's biographers. Many of Rabbi Reichert's trove of letters, books, and newspaper clippings documenting his 24-year friendship with Frost are now in the University of Buffalo's poetry collection.Frost had a long-standing connection to the tiny town of Ripton, in Vermont's Green Mountains, having summered and taught there beginning in the early 1920s. Ripton is home to the prestigious Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, which Frost helped conceive and with which he was indelibly associated. Following the death of his wife, from 1939 until his own death in 1963, Frost spent summer and fall months in a rustic cabin on the Homer Noble Farm in Ripton, which is now owned and maintained as a museum by Middlebury College. Nearby, along the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail in the Green Mountain National Forest, a curated selection of Frost's poems is displayed on plaques.Reference: Crane A21.1, Forward, 2 April 2013; Parini, Robert Frost: A Life; University of Buffalo.

Hardcover. First trade edition, first printing. This first trade edition, first printing, of Frost's third Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection is inscribed and dated by Frost in the year of publication and gifted to African-American poet and playwright Owen Dodson a month later upon his college graduation. Frost signed and dated at the head of the title page "Robert Frost 1936". The gift inscription, inked in four lines on the upper left of the front free endpaper recto, reads: "Class of June-1936 | To Owen | With Best Wishes | From Eunice". Owen's ownership signature "Owen Dodson" is inked at the center of the front pastedown. Brooklyn-born, African-American poet and playwright Owen Dodson (1914-1983) graduated from Bates College in June 1936, where he began writing poetry and directing plays. After earning his M.F.A. at Yale, he enlisted in the Navy and served during the Second World War, during which time he continued to write. "His first poetry collection,Powerful Long Ladder, appeared in 1946 and was widely praised. The next year he began teaching at Howard University, where he remained until 1979."The book itself a variant binding in a beautifully bright jacket would merit attention even if not signed by both Frost and Dodson. The binding is tight and clean with sharp corners, suffering only minor shelf wear to extremities and a slight forward lean. Rendering this copy a variant binding is the absence of the usual gilt title and author print on the spine; instead, the spine is blank. The contents show no spotting and only moderate age-toning. The red-brown topstain retains uniform, unfaded color. There is a rectangle of transfer browning at the lower left of the front free endpaper recto, indicating something once laid in but now absent. Exceptionally neat underling of certain lines in red pencil presumably done by Dodson appears at pages 14, 16-19, 21, 22, 24, 28, 30-33, 37, 38, 43, 48-50, 53, 56, 58, 62, 70, and 71. The dust jacket approaches truly fine condition, beautifully bright and complete with no toning, only the slightest soiling to the upper front flap fold and a hint of shelf wear to extremities. A faint vertical crease along the rear hinge may explain the excellent condition; perhaps the jacket was folded and stored by Dobson while he read the book. The jacket is now protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.A Further Range includes fifty-one poems and is divided into six parts. Some of Frost's best known lyrics are found herein, among them "Desert Places", "Neither Out Far Nor in Deep", and "A Leaf Treader".
