Northrop Frye on Myth

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Northrop Frye differed from other theorists of myth in tracing all of the major literary genres--romance, comedy, satire, not just tragedy--to myth and ritual. This volume is the most thorough presentation of his thinking on the subject. Ford Russell surveys Frye's corpus and focuses on the "Anatomy of Criticism, " examining how the arguments of thinkers from Aristotle to Freud influenced Frye's own thinking about myth.
