This volume brings together Northrop Frye”s criticism on twentieth-century literature, a body of work produced over almost sixty years. Including Frye”s 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volume also contains a recently discovered review of C.G. Jung”s book on the synchronicity principle and a previously unpublished introduction to a twentieth-century literature anthology. Frye”s 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”s substantial introduction delineates the development of Frye”s 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”s Collected Works is indispensible not only for readers of Frye”s work but for all scholars and students of twentieth-century literature.
