Herman Northrop Frye foi um crítico literário canadense, um dos mais célebres do século XX.



Nascido em Sherbrooke, Quebec, mas criado em Moncton, New Brunswick, ele passou toda sua carreira, incluindo seus dias de aluno da graduação, na Faculdade Victoria, Universidade de Toronto. Ele chegou à proeminência internacional quando ainda era estudante. A poesia profética de William Blake há muito era considerada divagações delirantes que nunca poderiam ser entendidas. Frye encontrou nela um sistema de metáfora derivado do Paraíso Perdido e da Bíblia. Ele publicou suas descobertas como Fearful Symmetry em 1947.

Dez anos mais tarde ele expandiu sua visão, defendendo em Anatomia da crítica que há certos arquétipos e símbolos usados por toda a literatura. Seu O código dos códigos examinou como as cenas e imagens da Bíblia são a base de toda a literatura ocidental. Dentro desse contexto, ele analisou a novela Dão-Lalalão de João Guimarães Rosa, na qual percebeu influências bíblicas do livro Cantares de Salomão .

Ele também se ocupou de crítica cultural e social e recebeu 39 títulos honorários. Anatomia da crítica permanece um dos mais importantes trabalhos da crítica literária do século XX.

Frye foi premiado com Medalha Lorne Pierce Medal da Royal Society of Canada em 1958. Em 1972 ele recebeu a Comenda da Ordem do Canadá.

Northrop Frye morreu em 1991 e foi enterrado no Mount Pleasant Cemetery em Toronto, Ontário.

Em 2000, ele foi honrado pelo governo do Canadá com sua imagem num selo postal. Um festival devotado aos trabalhos de Northrop Frye é realizado anualmente em Moncton, New Brunswick no mês de abril.

“Education is a set of analogies to a genuinely human existence, of which the arts are the model. Merely human life is of course a demonic analogy or parody of genuinely human life.”

“…there is something about time and space that is not real, and something about us that is. However man may have tumbled into this world of indefinite space, he does not belong to it at all. Real space for him is the eternal here; where we are is always the center of the universe, and the circumference of the universe, just as real time is the 'eternal Now' of our personal experience.”
