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. Michael 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 Fearful Symmetry and his absorption in the writing of Anatomy of Criticism. In 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. 410 0$aCollected works of Northrop Frye ; Volume 20. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / Canadian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / Canadian. 676 $a821.3 702 $aDolzani$b Michael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459932703321 996 $aNorthrop Frye's notebooks on Renaissance literature$92479516 997 $aUNINA
