A Further Range is a poetry collection by Robert Frost published in 1936 by Henry Holt and Company (New York) and in 1937 by Jonathan Cape (London).
The political content of this volume of poetry was obvious to contemporary readers. Frost admitted that A Further Range “has got a good deal more of the times in it than anything I ever wrote before...One well known paper called me a 'counter-revolutionary' for writing it.” Frost's deep concerns about industrialization, organized labor, the New Deal and the decline of the family farm are apparent in poems such as “A Lone Striker”, “Build Soil” and “A Roadside Stand”.[1]
The collection was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1937.[2]
