{"product_id":"northrop-frye-on-literature-and-society-1936-89","title":"Northrop Frye on Literature and Society, 1936-89","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawn from previously unpublished essays, talks, reviews and papers, this volume of Northrop Frye's collected works spans some fifty years of his long writing career. The earliest item is a paper on The Canterbury Tales dating from Frye's student days at Oxford. The latest was written in 1989, on the occasion of his receiving his thirty-sixth honorary degree from the University of Bologna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center-piece of the collection is Frye's lengthy and ambitious essay, \"Rencontre.\" Intended as an introduction to a never-published anthology of English literature, it is unique in Frye's oeuvre, being the only example of a sustained, continuous encounter with an entire literary tradition. \"Rencontre\" is a masterwork in its own right. Other important essays include: \"Shakespeare and the Comedy of Humours,\" \"The Literary Meaning of 'Archetype,'\" and \"Blake's Jerusalem.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrye was a profound and original thinker whose stature has not yet been fully realized. The writings collected here not only exemplify his extraordinary mind and elegant prose style - they show a far-sightedness and range that has not been seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54228780384600,"sku":"9780802036025","price":105.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780802036025__67ad7502a149b.jpg?v=1741135512","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/northrop-frye-on-literature-and-society-1936-89","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
