El legado crítico de Northrop Frye
No full textEl legado de Northop Frye se muestra, dieciséis años después de su muerte, en pleno esplendor. De ese legado resulta fundamental su compromiso con el contexto social de la literatura que Frye resumió en la fórmula del equilibrio entre la dimensión trascendente (el “concern”) y la libertad. Esa fórmula constituye la gran verdad del legado de Frye, pero al lado de esta fórmula el autor de este artículo encuentra un vacío: el recelo de Frye a construir de forma explícita una filosofía de la historia literaria, lo que ha dado lugar a una lectura de Frye que ofrece conceptos
mecánicos y abstractos. Sixteen years after Northrop Frye’s death, his legacy is still splendid. The essential of this legacy is the commitment with the social context of literature, condensed in Frye’s formula of equilibrium between concern and freedom. This formula is the great truth in Frye’s legacy. At its side, however, the author of this essay finds a vacuum: Frye’s reluctance to an explicit philosophy of literary history, from which a reading of Frye arises that sets out mechanical and abstract concepts

Northrop Frye in context
No full text“Diane Dubois takes a contextual approach to Northrop Frye’s work and claims that it is best assessed in relation to his biographical circumstances. In context and in specific details, Dubois’ book seeks to illuminate Frye’s œuvre as a personal, lifelong project. This volume successfully situates Frye’s work within the social, political, religious and philosophical conditions of the time and place of conception and writing. Dubois ranges from Frye’s critical utopia and views on criticism and education through the university, church and William Blake to politics and the Canadian and academic milieu. This book, which is particularly good at tracing Frye’s academic influences and his roots in Methodism and Canada, will have a strong appeal to an international audience of general readers, students, teachers and specialists. Frye is a key figure in the cultural and literary theory of the twentieth century, and Dubois’ accomplished discussion helps us to see his work anew.” Jonathan Hart, author of Northrop Frye: The Theoretical Imagination (1994), Interpreting Cultures (2006), Empires and Colonies (2008) and Literature, Theory, History (2011)</p
