Northrop Frye

Northrop Frye was an eminent literary theorist, critic, and teacher, based at Victoria College, University of Toronto, from 1939 to 1991. His systematic approach to literature examined the underlying myths and symbols that inform all of literature, challenged existing critical paradigms, and had a significant international influence, as did his work on the Bible as literature. As a critic, he influenced the work of a number of noted Canadian poets. Interviewed regularly on radio and television, his concept of the “garrison mentality” in the Canadian imagination had a profound impact on English-Canadian literature.

Northrop Frye

Northrop Frye est un éminent théoricien littéraire, critique et enseignant au Collège Victoria de l’Université de Toronto de 1939 à 1991. Son approche systématique fait ressortir les fondements mythiques et symboliques qui alimentent la littérature, remettant en cause les paradigmes existants et, tout comme son étude littéraire de la Bible, a une influence importante dans le monde. Comme critique, Frye influence l’œuvre de nombreux grands poètes canadiens. Il est souvent interviewé dans les médias et son concept de la « mentalité de garnison » dans l’imaginaire canadien marque profondément la littérature canadienne-anglaise.
