商品簡介
This is the second volume in a three-volume series in which Robert D. Denham examines the connections between Frye and a group of thinkers in the history of Western culture. These figures influenced Frye's thinking in various ways, even though direct references to them might be meagre and scattered throughout the twenty-nine volumes of his collected works. Professor Denham has expertly isolated all references to these thinkers in Frye's work, and, based on the substantial body of writing available, has inferred influences, relations, parallels and other connections. This volume adds ten figures to the series: the Mahayana Sutras, Machiavelli, Rabelais, Boehme, Hegel, Coleridge, Carlyle, Mill, Jane Ellen Harrison, and Elizabeth Fraser. Each chapter presents every direct reference to a thinker by Frye, thematic clusters of what he had to say on this person and their work, and conclusions about the influences on his work or about parallel modes of thought.
