Biographical / Historical
Edward Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet in the early 20th century. He first won the Pulitzer Prize in 1922 with his work entitled Collected Poems, the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded for poetry. Collected Poems contained many poems he had written throughout his career, including several of the popular Tilbury Town cycle about small town New England. Robinson won the Pulitzer again two years later for The Man Who Died Twice and finally for a third time in 1927 for the narrative poem Tristram, one of a series of poems based on Arthurian legends. Tristram was Robinson's only work that achieved wide-scale popular success and became a best-seller.
