Robert D. Denham has collected in these volumes the 266 letters,
cards, and telegrams that Helen Kemp and Northrop Frye wrote to
each other during the six periods when they were apart, from the
winter of 1931-32 until the summer of 1939. The letters form a
compelling narrative of their early relationship. They tell of a
romance in which two people fall in love, want to get married, and
are confronted with obstacles blocking their path, including lack
of money and the education they both need to advance their careers.
But the story is much more than a romance. The letters reveal
Frye's early talent as a writer, illustrating that both the matter
and the manner of his criticism had begun to take shape when he was
only nineteen. Helen Kemp's expressiveness and intelligence come
through clearly in her letters, which were only discovered in 1992.
Kemp and Frye share their thoughts on literature, music, religion,
politics, education, and a host of other topics. They discuss their
alma mater, Victoria College; artists and musicians of Toronto;
southwestern Saskatchewan, where Frye spent a summer as a pastor on
a United Church circuit; Frye's hometown, Moncton, New Brunswick;
and Kemp's neighbourhood on Fulton Avenue in Toronto. We travel
with them around the world, from Ottawa to Rome. We see through
their eyes the early years of the Co-operative Commonwealth
Federation, the struggles of the United Church of Canada, the
activities of the Student Christian Movement, the appeal of
Communism, the rise of fascism, and the beginnings of art education
in the galleries of Canada.
