"The pieces in Northrop Frye's Uncollected Prose are interesting, informative, and often amusing. They range from Frye's diary entries as a student to his self-presentation as a university administrator and a widely known literary critic, from the earliest formulations of his ideas to retrospective reflections on his published texts, and from literary to socio-political subjects." -- Angela Esterhammer, Principal, Victoria College in the University of Toronto "An interesting and important coda to the mass of Frye's writings brought to publication in the Collected Works, this collection provides useful insight into his thought processes, his research and writing procedures, and his early work on such important volumes as The Educated Imagination and The Secular Scripture." -- Glen Robert Gill, Department of Classics and Humanities, Montclair State University
Northrop Frye (1912-1991) was one of the twentieth century's most influential English scholars and literary critics. Northrop Frye was a professor in the Department of English at Victoria University in the University of Toronto from 1939 until his death. His works include Words with Power and Anatomy of Criticism. Robert D. Denham is the John P. Fishwick Professor of English Emeritus at Roanoke College.
‘Denham’s editing is impeccable; his introduction furnishes a guide
to readers who may not enjoy Frye’s plot summaries… This new
collection gives further reason why we need to take another look at
Frye.’
