Abstract

The bulk of Northrop Frye’s writings deals with the tradition as it is given from the great writers of Europe; yet his response to these writers has in an important way been fashioned by his own experience in North America and, more particularly, in Canada. Thus the main theme of this study is Frye’s “America A Prophecy”: a vision of the New World.
