Miniver Cheevy
Edwin Arlington Robinson
1910
Introduction
Edwin Arlington Robinson's poem Miniver Cheevy
(1910) is the portrait of a man who is discontent with the world he lives in and longs for the better times of bygone eras. He sighs and dreams about ancient Greece and the Renaissance and Camelot, longing for his idealized ideas about the civilizations and cultures that once were. Poor Miniver idealizes any time that is not his own. He sits and drinks and thinks about it.
Edwin Arlington Robinson was considered a poet of darkness. He often looked at the depressing side of life, examining traits that make up the less admirable aspects of the human psyche. His best known poems, such as this one and Richard Cory,
offer quick snapshots of the lives of individuals who are coping with despair, often hiding their misery from the world and from themselves.
Miniver Cheevy
available in the Everyman Library 2007 collection Robinson: Poems, but it is also frequently anthologized and can be found in many collections of American poetry.
