Description

The Educated Imagination by Northrop Frye explores the value and uses of literature in our time. Addressed to educators and general readers, Dr. Frye offers challenging ideas for teaching literature at lower school levels, designed to promote an early interest and lead students to a deeper understanding of literature. Dr. Frye's proposals focus on poetry as the central literary form, intensive study of the Bible and classical works such as Greek and Latin classics, which embody enduring themes of Western culture. He also advocates for studying great literary forms like tragedy, comedy, romance, and irony. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to develop their understanding of literature and its role in education. With 159 pages of insightful analysis and practical teaching suggestions, The Educated Imagination is an important new work that will be of interest to educators and readers alike.
