Elinor Miriam White


Robert Frost married Elinor Miriam White in 1895 who was a major inspiration for his writings. After marriage, the couple tried living a farming life in New Hampshire. Not satisfied with such life, Robert Frost along with his wife and family moved to England. It was there where Frost met and was influenced by such contemporary British poets as Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke, and Robert Graves. While in England, Frost also established a friendship with the poet Ezra Pound, who helped to promote and publish his work. His wife was major inspiration for his poems until her death in 1938. They had six children together, but only two of them outlived their father.
