Oh, I forgot to say that teaching assisting the Frye course at Vic must have been a real joy. I'm glad you talked about that. And if I might probe a bit, what did you do your dissertation on? Could you tell me a bit about that? thx
Great synopsis about Frye's contributions to literary criticism. I haven't heard many lectures about Frye, and the last one I watched (I won't mention the channel) I wasn't impressed with. Nevertheless when this video came across my feed I was excited, and I wasn't disappointed. I read Frye for fun, even though I am still working through his corpus. I really liked his Blake Book, and of course his Code and Words. It's too bad--from my naive impression--there seems to be a bit of a disdain or at least a distancing from Frye in literary studies. For example, the Yale Open Courses Literary Theory course by Paul H. Fry doesn't even briefly mention Frye from what I remember of it. Maybe he is out of fashion or I am misunderstanding? As well, I started reading White because he likes Frye. I am glad you mentioned White; maybe consider making a recording about his work? Anyway, thanks for the upload!
Thank you! Can you tell me what source links you're talking about? The graphics I mostly made myself in Adobe express and PowerPoint, adapted from diagrams in The Anatomy of Criticism.
Many thanks. Especially for the Four Seasons Of Literature. Kudos to Northrop Fry..
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good work - great summary

Thanks for the analysis, it really helped me a lot but my question goes thus, what is Frye’s take on the Trickster figure?
the trickster is associated with the giant-killer, and also the psychopomp. not sure the trickster is as important to Frye as Jung?
Thanks, fun stuff! Unfortunately all the source links are broken, any advice for finding these graphics?

Mircea Eliade is another unified theorist
Yes! And Durkheim.
