Paper Summary:

This paper presents a brief biographical account of the life of American poet, Edward Arlington Robinson and then goes on to discuss the philosophy underlying his poetry. Next, the paper analyzes Robinson's poem "Richard Cory", suggesting that underneath the obvious irony in the poem lies a deeper, more harmful message.

From the Paper:

"Edwin Arlington Robinson was born December 22nd, 1869 at Head Tide, Main. He was the son of Edward and Mary E. Robinson. In 1870 the family moved from Head Tide to Gardiner, Maine, where he received his early education at Gardiner High School. After graduating high school, he went on to attend Harvard College from 1891 to 1893. Due to the unfortunate event of his father's death, Edwin's family did not have enough money to finish school. Between 1897 and 1898 he lived in New York then returned to live there permanently in 1900."
