== Edward versus Edwin Arlington Robinson - don't get booby-trapped! == |

The man's first name was Edwin, as far as I can determine from searching in printed literature. However, the use of Edward as his first name is amazingly common. The Penguin Book of the Sonnet, edited by Phillis Levin, (Google ID ueooAQAAIAAJ, ISBN 0140589295, 9780140589290, Penguin Books 2001) gives his name that way twice. _Some Contemporary Americans_ By Percy H. Boynton (ISBN 0819601810, 9780819601810, 1924) gives his name both ways. According to Scott Donaldson's _Edwin Arlington Robinson: a poet's life_, page 17, his name was given as Edward on his second Pulitzer Prize. I suppose some confusion might arise from Edward being Edwin's father's name, but it's still amazing how common it is. A Google search on "Edward Arlington Robinson" returns over 30,000 hits. |

broken link
The link to the poem "Children of The Night" in the article's bibliography is linked, wierdly, to the story of the like title by Robert E. Howard. If this is not a concern of anyone else's, I shall perhaps be able to live with it too.
Because I'd had to observe this phenomenon, please let me add that Wikipedia is a work without which the web would be a poorer place. I submit my humble thanks to each and all.

Edward versus Edwin Arlington Robinson - don't get booby-trapped!
The man's first name was Edwin, as far as I can determine from searching in printed literature. However, the use of Edward as his first name is amazingly common. The Penguin Book of the Sonnet, edited by Phillis Levin, (Google ID ueooAQAAIAAJ, ISBN 0140589295, 9780140589290, Penguin Books 2001) gives his name that way twice. _Some Contemporary Americans_ By Percy H. Boynton (ISBN 0819601810, 9780819601810, 1924) gives his name both ways. According to Scott Donaldson's _Edwin Arlington Robinson: a poet's life_, page 17, his name was given as Edward on his second Pulitzer Prize. I suppose some confusion might arise from Edward being Edwin's father's name, but it's still amazing how common it is. A Google search on "Edward Arlington Robinson" returns over 30,000 hits.
