The Legacy of Northrop Frye

About this book

Alvin Lee and Robert Denham divide the papers into four cohesive sections: 'The Double Vision: Culture, Religion, and Society,' 'Imagined Community: Frye and Canada,' 'The Visioned Poet in His Dreams: Frye, Romanticism, and the Modern,' and 'Dunsinane, Birnam Wood, and Beyond: Frye's Theoria of Language and Literature.' The essays consider Frye in relation to Canadian culture, examine his understanding of Romanticism and modernism, and explore and evaluate his contributions to our understanding of literature, criticism, society, and religion. This collection of essays by scholars from a wide range of disciplines and institutions pays tribute to the richness, diversity, and significance of Northrop Frye's contributions to culture and society in Canada and around the world.
