{"product_id":"northrop-fryes-notebooks-on-renaissance-literature-9781442657649","title":"Northrop Frye's Notebooks on Renaissance Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough Northrop Frye's first book, \u003cem\u003e Fearful Symmetry\u003c\/em\u003e (1947), elevated the reputation of William Blake from the status of a minor eccentric to that of a major Romantic poet, Frye in fact saw Blake as a poet (and, consequently, himself as a critic) not of the Romantic period, but of the Renaissance. As such, Frye's meditations on the Renaissance are particularly valuable. This volume collects six of Frye's notebooks and five sets of his typed notes on subjects related to Renaissance literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Dolzani divides these notes into three categories: those on Spenser and the epic tradition; those on Shakespearean drama and, more widely, the dramatic tradition from Old Comedy to the masque; and those on lyric poetry and non-fiction prose. The organization of this volume reflects 'a comprehensive study of Renaissance Symbolism' in three volumes, which Frye proposed to the Guggenheim Foundation in 1949. Frye received a Guggenheim fellowship, but never wrote the book; nevertheless, his application, part of which is also included here, is an important document. The Guggenheim application not only reveals the outlines of Frye's thinking about literature, it also uncovers his plans for his future creative life during the crucial period between his completion of \u003cem\u003eFearful Symmetry\u003c\/em\u003e and his absorption in the writing of \u003cem\u003eAnatomy of Criticism\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to providing insight into Frye's thinking process, the material collected into this key volume in the Collected Works is of particular importance because much of it has no direct counterpart in any of Frye's other published works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Dolzani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442657649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Dolzani\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of English at Baldwin-Wallace College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45111274537075,"sku":"9781442657649","price":97.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_17e1336e-494a-4940-90d3-bc448ba497e8.jpg?v=1781703288","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/northrop-fryes-notebooks-on-renaissance-literature-9781442657649","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
