Northrop Frye on Literature and Society, 1936-89

Northrop Frye

Drawn from previously unpublished essays, talks, reviews and papers, this volume of Northrop Frye’s collected works spans some fifty years of his long writing career. The earliest item is a paper on The Canterbury Tales dating from Frye’s student days at Oxford. The latest was written in 1989, on the occasion of his receiving his thirty-sixth honorary degree from the University of Bologna. The center-piece of the collection is Frye’s essay, Rencontre . Intended as an introduction to a never-published anthology of English literature, it is unique in Frye’s oeuvre, being the only example of a sustained, continuous encounter with an entire literary tradition. Other important essays include: Shakespeare and the Comedy of Humours , The Literary Meaning of ‘Archetype’ , and Blake’s ‘Jerusalem’ .
