A collection of quotations from Canada’s greatest literary
theorist. "There is no Canadian writer of whom we can say … that
their readers can grow up inside their work without ever being
aware of a circumference." Northrop Frye came to that conclusion
after a detailed study of the imaginative achievements of
Canada’s writers from the earliest period to 1965, when that
sentence from his study first appeared in print. Over the decades
since then, the statement has come to be regarded as a benchmark of
individual and national literary achievement. The Northrop Frye
Quote Book is a specialized dictionary of quotations on all
subjects that is based on the thoughts and writings of one person.
It is the handiwork of a single contributor, albeit the cogitations
of a remarkable one. It is also evidence that there is a Canadian
writer of whom it may be said that we can grow up inside his work
"without ever being aware of a circumference." John Robert Colombo
has written, translated, edited, or compiled over two hundred
books, including seven dictionaries of quotations. He is a graduate
of the University of Toronto and a Fellow of the Frye Centre at
Victoria University. Jean O’Grady, a graduate of the University
of Toronto, served as the associate editor of The Collected Works
of Northrop Frye. She is also the author of the biography of
Margaret Addison, the first dean of women at Victoria College.
