Reviews

Mervyn Nicholson:

‘Denham’s editing is impeccable; his introduction furnishes a guide to readers who may not enjoy Frye’s plot summaries… This new collection gives further reason why we need to take another look at Frye.’

Glen Robert Gill, Department of Classics and Humanities, Montclair State University:
“An interesting and important coda to the mass of Frye’s writings brought to publication in the Collected Works, this collection provides useful insight into his thought processes, his research and writing procedures, and his early work on such important volumes as The Educated Imagination and The Secular Scripture.”

Angela Esterhammer, Principal, Victoria College in the University of Toronto:
“The pieces in Northrop Frye’s Uncollected Prose are interesting, informative, and often amusing. They range from Frye’s diary entries as a student to his self-presentation as a university administrator and a widely known literary critic, from the earliest formulations of his ideas to retrospective reflections on his published texts, and from literary to socio-political subjects.”
