Talk:Robert Frost

England to UK?

Hi, informative article thanks. Can I respectfully suggest an edit?

"His work was initially published in England before it was published in America"

Although this is technically accurate, I feel a more sympathetic line would read UK or Great Britain. The source is Encyclopedia Britianica. US publications often use England in place of the UK or GB. Given the publication was in London, which was and is the capital of the UK, I feel this would add to the already good work.

Both my Encyclopedia Britannica (14th edition, 1956) and The Oxford Companion to English Literature (1995) write "England" as the place he moved to in 1912. I don't know what's sympathetic about saying UK or Great Britain instead. Sympathetic to what? To write "England" is more specific, as is giving "Scotland" as the place of his mother's birth (given that way in article?). Dhtwiki (talk) 12:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Robert Frost appears in the Simpsons, season 4 , episode 15 , “ I love Lisa”. It is a flashback to a 1950s black and white clip of the krusty the clown show, where krusty dumps snow over mr frost and frost is quoted “ we discussed this and I said no” 157.131.200.145 (talk) 08:58, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

What do you want me to change? Please state in the form of change x to y please. Thanks! HeartGlow ^(talk) 12:09, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

No author has ever had a work published in England specifically. To record this as a fact shows a rare ignorance. The author's works were initially published in the UK.

Abundant inaccuracies in this article. Ridiculous. He deserves better. Paulcoll1971 (talk) 23:20, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Add Robert Frost Middle School in Rockville, MD, Montgommery County https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/robertfrostms/ 2601:14F:4400:875E:C8A1:BB59:D701:3D4F (talk) 13:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

 Not done – The school's notability isn't established. The present article mentions that one college hall is named after Frost. If we start mentioning every elementary, middle, or high school that has that distinction, I'm afraid of its growing into a list that would overwhelm the article.

Suggested edit to "Legacy and cultural influence" section

Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is used as a plot device in the spy movie "Telefon" (1977). In the movie, "dormant" agents were "awakened" by reciting the last lines of the poem to them. In Tarantino's movie "Death Proof", the same code phrase is used, possibly as a reference/homage to Telefon. It might be worth mentioning it under "Legacy and cultural influence" (I have just re-signed up to Wikipedia and I don't seem to have the clearance to edit the article myself). Cheers!

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. —Belwine (talk) 16:11, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Lee

Came here to find out why a New England poet was named Robert Lee Frost, but there is no mention of the middle name in the article other than the fact of it. This article might be a good starting point: http://www.michaeljroueche.com/2013/03/a-yankee-poet-a-southern-general-a-civil-war-novel/
