Northrop Frye's Notebooks and Lectures on the Bible and Other Religious Texts
Northrop Frye's expansive and influential lectures on the literary symbolism of the Bible given during 1981-2 are arguably among his best and most accessible works. This thirteenth volume in the Collected Works of Northrop Frye gathers together these lectures and Frye's notebooks on the Bible, Dante, and Eastern religion. The eleven holograph notebooks and the twenty-four lectures transcribed here present new insights into Frye's personality, methods, and thought, and complement the other published editions of Frye's notebooks in this series,The Late Notebooks(2000) andThe 'Third Book' Notebooks(2002).
The notebook material comes mostly from the 1970s, when Frye was at work on the first of his books on the Bible,The Great Code, but also includes one notebook from the 1940s, another from the 1960s, devoted to Frye's reading of Dante'sPurgatorioand the first ten cantos of theParadiso, and another from the 1980s, when Frye was at work on his second book on the Bible,Words with Power. Fully annotated, this latest volume in the Collected Works of Northrop Frye will be an invaluable addition to any literary or religious scholar's library.

Northrop Frye's Notebooks on Romance
Romance was a theme that ran through much of Northrop Frye's corpus, and his notebooks and typed notes on the subject are plentiful. This unpublished material, written between 1944 and 1989, traces a remarkable re-evaluation in his thinking over the course of time. As a young scholar, Frye insisted that romance was an expression of cultural decadence; however, in his later years, he thought of it as \"the structural core of all fiction.\"
The unpublished material Michael Dolzani has gathered forNorthrop Frye's Notebooks on Romanceshows how the pattern and conventions of romance inform the writing of history, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and theology. While Frye is best known for his writing on myth and biblical scholarship, he himself eventually conceived of romance as the true and equal contrary to myth and scripture, a \"secular scripture\" whose message isde te fabula, \"this story is about you.\" Given the current popular revival of romance in fiction and film, the appearance of Frye's unpublished work on romance is of profound importance.

The Educated Imagination and Other Writings on Critical Theory 1933-1963
In 1933, Northrop Frye was a recent university graduate, beginning to learn his craft as a literary essayist. By 1963, with the publication of The Educated Imagination , he had become an international academic celebrity. In the intervening three decades, Frye wrote widely and prodigiously, but it is in the papers and lectures collected in this installment of the Collected Works of Northrop Frye, that the genesis of a distinguished literary critic can be seen. Here is Frye tracing the first outlines of a literary cosmology that would culminate in The Anatomy of Criticism (1958) and shape The Great Code (1982) and Words with Power (1990).
At the same time that Frye garnered such international acclaim, he was also a working university teacher, lecturing in the University of Toronto's English Language and Literature program. In her lively introduction, Germaine Warkentin links Frye's evolution as a critic with his love of music, his passionate concern for his students, and his growing professional ambition. The writings included in this volume show how Frye integrated ideas into the work that would consolidate the fame that Fearful Symmetry (1947) had first established.
