| 1. |  | The Tempest (Shakespeare, Pelican) from Penguin Classics Customer Review:  The Tempest is rightly regarded as being one of the Bard's greatest works, containing some of his deepest thoughts on the nature of power and the relationship between rational man as controller of nature, and the animal man always to be at the mercy of the passions both of himself, others, and the... |

| 2. |  | The Great Code: The Bible and Literature from Harvest Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This is an illuminating book which reveals the architecture of Western literature and its seminal relationship with the Bible. The study develops ideas already suggested in Anatomy of Criticism or The Secular Scripture, but in this occasion The Great Code provides plenty of examples that account for... |

| 3. |  | Anatomy of Criticism: Four Essays from Princeton University Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I bought this book in 1999, under the influence of a prominent professor of English literature; I waited until now to read it, and wish I hadn't. So might you, even if eminence in literary studies is not an aspiration of yours, as it wasn't for me. In the "Polemical Introduction" to this book... |

| 4. |  | Fearful Symmetry: A Study of William Blake (Collected Works of Northrop Frye) from University of Toronto Press Price: $67.40 Customer Review: I have a much clearer sense of Blake's writings now that I've read this book. I took a long time in finishing it, reading some major poems by W.B. at the same time. This is really an exciting book; it brings to life a whole universe - that lived in the poet's imagination. Blake is alive today (in... |

| 5. |  | Northrop Frye on Shakespeare from Fitzhenry and Whiteside Price: $12.89 Customer Review: This is the book that opened Shakespeare up to me. In a college Shakespeare class, which I came into with a strong anti-Shakespeare bias, I found myself confused with the language, bored and indifferent with the stories and frustrated. So, I went out and picked up this book (I had read Frye's the... |

| 6. |  | Educated Imagination (Midland Books: No. 88) from Indiana University Press Price: $10.75 Customer Review: I read this when I was 21. I became a writer. The book gave me inspiration and an appreciation of literature. It also helped me to develop an ideology/philosophy about life and the imagination. It should be mandatory in schools today. |

| 7. |  | Words with Power: Being a Second Study of "The Bible and Literature" from Harvest Books Price: $19.00 Customer Review:  Very much appreciated A Customer's knowledge of Frye and his work, but I would like to supplement that review of Words with Power by saying that "Symbol and Spirit" so lifted my heart that fifteen years ago I typed out long sections of the chapter, then made copies for some twenty friends who... |

| 9. |  | The Secular Scripture: A Study of the Structure of Romance (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures) from Harvard University Press Price: $22.00 Customer Review: For the past couple of years, I have had an avid interest in Literary Criticism. I tend to be a traditionalist in this area, and so have a lot of respect for Northrop Frye, who was the last great proponent of an objective view of literature. Frye's most important work is The Anatomy of Criticism,... |

| 12. |  | Biblical and Classical Myths: The Mythological Framework of Western Culture (Frye Studies) from University of Toronto Press Price: $28.21 Customer Review: The first half of this book is a series of lectures by Northrop Frye (1912-1991) called "Symbolism in the Bible". The second half is an uncommented collection of well-known classical myths introduced by the co-author, J. MacPherson. Although the second half is worth reading, the main attraction by... |

| 15. |  | A Natural Perspective from Columbia University Press Price: $27.00 Customer Review: Northrop Frye is one of the greatest Shakespeare critics of all time (and there have been many). For those who think comedy is a trivial art form, this book will change your mind. Comedy is more serious than tragedy, and Frye illuminates not only Shakespeare's comedies but all comedy. He shows why... |

This is a very slim volume, about 100 pages, and divided into five sections. The first section... |
