University of Toronto Press Northrop Frye's Uncollected Prose (Frye Studies)

Northrop Frye's Uncollected Prose, which features twenty-one pieces in the form of notes, prefaces, reviews, and talks, is the latest addition to the impressive body of writing by and about Frye. Among the highlights of the collection are Frye's 'Notes on Romance,' written in preparation for the lectures that eventually became The Secular Scripture; a newly discovered early notebook, parts of which may date from his second year as an undergraduate at Victoria College; and a pair of previously unavailable interviews. Expertly introduced by Robert D. Denham, one of the leading editors of Frye's papers, Northrop Frye's Uncollected Prose offers valuable insight into Frye's early life, his research methodology, and thought process, and is further proof of the remarkable depth and range of his work. Review '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.' - Mervyn Nicholson - English Studies in Canada vol 42:1-2:2016 About the Author Robert D. Denham is the John P. Fishwick Professor of English Emeritus at Roanoke College and the editor of eleven volumes of the Collected Works of Northrop Frye.
