Northrop Frye on Twentieth-Century Literature
No full textThis volume brings together Northrop Frye\u27s criticism on twentieth-century literature, a body of work produced over almost sixty years. Including Frye\u27s incisive book, T.S. Eliot, as well as his discussions of writers such as James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, and George Orwell, the volume also contains a recently discovered review of C.G. Jung\u27s book on the synchronicity principle and a previously unpublished introduction to a twentieth-century literature anthology. Frye\u27s insightful commentaries demonstrate definitively that he was as astute a critic of the literature of his own time as he was of the literature of earlier periods.
Glen Robert Gill\u27s substantial introduction delineates the development of Frye\u27s criticism on twentieth-century literature, puts it in historical and cultural context, and relates it to his overarching theory of literature. This volume in Frye\u27s Collected Works is indispensible not only for readers of Frye\u27s work but for all scholars and students of twentieth-century literature

Women to the Rescue!: The Representation of African American Women in the Art and Illustration of African American Harlem Renaissance Publication
No full textThe "New Negro" was a concept created by Alain Locke, W.E.B Du Bois, and other African American intellectuals during the time of the Harlem Renaissance. This concept promoted the social uplift, greater equality, and the creation of a new identity from within the black community. Fine art and literary works promoted the creation of this new identity. The movement, however, was largely based on the concepts of the "New Negro" being male. This leads one to question, what was the woman's role in the Harlem Renaissance Movement? To what extent was she included? Were efforts made to change her social status and negate her segregation and discrimination? This essay will show that although sexism, racism, and classism are portrayed in her depiction, the "New Negro" female identity was present and promoted. This identity was associated with separate roles in the movement that attempted to conform to white middle class standards of patriarchy; nonetheless those tasks held importance and were celebrated in the African American woman's depiction in art and illustration. Topics that the paper will discuss include two-fold discrimination, efforts to repress that discrimination, women?s economic role, education and history, and her beauty and sexuality
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: Anatomy of Imagination: A Study of His Theory, His Critical Stance, and His Definition of Comic Archetypes
No full textFrye\u27s significance rests on his contributions to literary theory rather than to practical criticism, though he does attempt to practice, or one might state perform his theory, in Fables of Identity, wherein he studies Milton, Blake, Joyce and others. He has enormously stimulated interest in myth criticism and as w. K. Wimsatt declares, Frye has contributed much to the gaiety, the fun, and hence in a certain sense to the health of modern American criticism. He has enlivened our proceedings. Sheldon Grebstein believes that he has seduced many younger scholars because of the great freedom his theoretical approach allows in analyzing literature
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
