Originally published in 1971,The Bush Garden features Northrop
Frye's timeless essays on Canadian literature and painting, and an
introduction by bestselling author Lisa Moore. In this cogent
collection of essays written between 1943 and 1969, formidable
literary critic and theorist Northrop Frye explores the Canadian
imagination through the lens of the country's artistic output:
prose, poetry, and paintings. Frye offers insightful commentary on
the works that shaped a "Canadian sensibility," and includes a
comprehensive survey of the landscape of Canadian poetry throughout
the 1950s, including astute criticism of the work of E. J. Pratt,
Robert Service, Irving Layton, and many others. Written with
clarity and precision,The Bush Garden is a significant cache of
literary criticism that traces a pivotal moment in the country's
cultural history and the evolution of Frye's thinking at various
stages of his career. These essays are evidence of Frye's
brilliance, and cemented his reputation as Canada's - and the
world's - foremost literary critic.
