Breaking with the practice of close reading of individual texts, Frye seeks to describe a common basis for understanding the full range of literary forms by examining archetypes, genres, poetic language, and the relations among the text, the reader, and society. Using a dazzling array of examples, he argues that understanding \"the structure of literature as a total form\" also allows us to see the profoundly liberating effect literature can have.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorthrop Frye\u003c\/b\u003e (1912-1991) was University Professor at the University of Toronto, where he was also professor of English at Victoria College.
