Northrop Frye on Shakespeare - Hardcover
"With his latest book, Frye continues to solidify his reputation as one of the most important literary theorists and critics of the 20th century. By concentrating on a handful of Shakespeare's plays, Frye can elaborate on the theory, developed in his groundbreaking study Anatomy of Criticism , that all literature reenacts ancient myths and rituals that, though outside consciousness, still exert a powerful influence on our perception. Because Shakespeare manipulates these instinctual perceptions, he can speak to us as a voice at once in the past and the present, "not of an age, but for all time."
