Inspired by recent philosophical thinking on post-secularism and by Northrop Frye’s theorizing on the connections between the Bible and the development of Western literature, Claude Le Fustec presents insightful readings of the presence of transcendence and biblical imagination in canonical novels by American writers ranging from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Toni Morrison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamining these novels through the lens of Frye’s ambitious account of literature’s transcendent, or kerygmatic power, Le Fustec argues that American fiction has always contained the seeds of a rejection of radical skepticism and a return to spiritual experience. Beyond an insightful analysis of Frye’s ideas, \u003cem\u003eNorthrop Frye and American Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e is powerful testimony of their continued interpretive potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49724795519320,"sku":"9781442647695","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781442647695__67b31ca682573.jpg?v=1741135253","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/northrop-frye-and-american-fiction","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
