Northrop Frye is acknowledged as a prominent 20th-century critic. "The Anatomy of Criticism" (1957) is said to have transformed literary theory, and his contributions to studies of Blake, theories of aesthetics, theology and social criticism, have ensured his place in the field of cultural studies. His belief that ideology is everywhere, and that mythology is part of ideology, has given rise to one of the most important contemporary theoretical debates: the relation between myth and ideology, between narrative and imagination. This work surveys Frye's career, incoporating archival material as well as his published work.

This review is from: Northrop Frye (Critics of the Twentieth Century) (Kindle Edition)
Why is this $80.00? Doesn't Frye already have a bad enough reputation as inaccessible? Please lower your price to a reasonable amount.
