In his long and eminent scholarly career, Northrop Frye engaged
with subjects ranging from classics to twentieth-century writings.
Northrop Frye's Canadian Literary Criticism examines the impact of
Frye's criticism on Canadian literary scholarship as well as the
response of Frye's peers to his articulation of a 'Canadian'
criticism.
Frye's belief that Canadian writing should be studied within the
context of Canadian life rather than evaluated autonomously, in
relation to the world's literature, was controversial. While there
were those who favoured Frye's position and extended its use for
wider theoretical applications, those who criticized Frye's stance
felt that Canadian authors should not be exempt from universally
sanctioned critical standards. Branko Gorjup and an esteemed group
of contributors skilfully capture the tension that arose from this
binary critical problematic and document the various attempts at
resolving or transcending it, encouraging a remapped understanding
of Frye and locating his place in Canadian criticism from a
contemporary perspective.
