Primary URL Description: Even the casual reader will notice a strong preoccupation with religion in the work of Northrop Frye. In his latest book, however, the esteemed Frye scholar Robert Denham shows that it played a far greater role than has been assumed -- religion was in fact central to practically everything Frye wrote. This reevaluation is based on a close examination of Frye's religiously charged language and aided by Denham's remarkable and unique access to Frye's notebooks.
Secondary URL Description: Review The most important book on Frye by a single author to date.... The remarkable and detailed scholarship that has gone into this book represents a real achievement, a fitting crown to Denham's lifelong commitment to Frye's work. —P. Joseph Adamson, Professor of English, McMaster University, Ontario, author of Northrop Frye: A Visionary Life
