Lessons in the Conversation That We Are: Robert Frost's "Death of the Hired Man."
Jost, Walter
College English, v58 n4 p397-422 Apr 1996
Looks at Robert Frost's "The Death of the Hired Man" as a "representative anecdote" for Frost's work, which, taken as a whole, shows readers how to lose themselves among the overlooked places and turnings, the topics and tropes, that make up Frost's rhetorical home, the place of everyday human talk and gossip.
