The Educated Imagination

Copertina anteriore
30 Recensioni
Indiana University Press, 1964 - 159 pagine

Addressed to educators and general readers—the "consumers of literature" from all walks of life—this important new book explores the value and uses of literature in our time. Dr. Frye offers, in addition, challenging and stimulating ideas for the teaching of literature at lower school levels, designed both to promote an early interest and to lead the student to the knowledge and kaleidoscopic experience found in the study of literature.

Dr. Frye's proposals for the teaching of literature include an early emphasis on poetry, the "central and original literary form," intensive study of the Bible, as literature, and the Greek and Latin classics, as these embody all the great enduring themes of western man, and study of the great literary forms: tragedy and comedy, romance and irony.

Review: The Educated Imagination

Recensione dell'utente  - Lisa Grace - Goodreads

I feel like this book affirmed a lot of things people already practice with literary criticism, but also challenged some of my current beliefs about the subject. A very fast read with intriguing insights and metaphors. Leggi recensione completa

Review: The Educated Imagination

Recensione dell'utente  - Sarah - Goodreads

Ok i only didnt love it because it was a series of difficult to read essays. However Northrop Frye is an amazing thinker and his work in this book is useful in understanding what literature is. In the essays Frye talks about language, literature, the language of literature and archetypes. Leggi recensione completa

Informazioni sull'autore (1964)

Herman Northrop Frye was born in 1912 in Quebec, Canada. His mother educated him at home until the fourth grade. After graduating from the University of Toronto, he studied theology at Emmanuel College for several years and actually worked as a pastor before deciding he preferred the academic life. He eventually obtained his master's degree from Oxford, and taught English at the University of Toronto for more than four decades. Frye's first two books, Fearful Symmetry (1947) and Anatomy of Criticism (1957) set forth the influential literary principles upon which he continued to elaborate in his numerous later works. These include Fables of Identity: Studies in Poetic Mythology, The Well-Tempered Critic, and The Great Code: The Bible and Literature. Frye died in 1991.
