About this product

Product Information

In Words With Power , literary critic and theorist Northrop Frye continues his exploration, begun in The Great Code , of the influence of Biblical themes and forms of expression on Western literature, with discussions of authors ranging from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Yeats and Eliot. Frye identifies four key elements found in the Bible--the mountain, the garden, the cave, and the furnace--and describes how they recur in later secular writings.

Reviews
Frye (1912-1991) analyzes the Bible's imagery, narrative structure and influence upon literary classics in his tremendously rich sequel to The Great Code: The Bible and Literature ., In his introduction to The Great Code ( LJ 6/1/82), Frye promised a sequel to his work on "the Bible and literature." Here is the promised volume, though it is not an entirely new book. In Part 1, Frye restates his critical position, his structural principle: the identity of mythology and literature. In Part 2, he focuses on specific mythological themes (mountain, garden, cave, furnace) that are variations of the cosmic axis mundi image. Throughout, he demonstrates his interest in the mythological structures that inform literature, including the Bible, instead of simply the literary characteristics of the Bible. While it is undeniable that myths often serve as structuring elements in the Bible, occasionally Frye allows myth criticism to overwhelm the text rather than shed light upon it. Thus there is the risk of forcing the text into the pre-established structure. This aside, there is enlightenment available for readers willing to work through it. Recommended. - Craig W. Beard, Har ding Univ. Lib., Searcy, Ark.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Powerful Ideas in Words with Power

    I bought Words with Power because I finally had gotten around to reading Northrop Frye's highly recommended book The Great Code and was intrigued with the ideas therein. Words with Power is the sequel to The Great Code and is in many ways a more accessible recounting of the concepts involved in reviewing the Bible and literature. Please note that this is the Bible and literature NOT the Bible as literature. Dr. Frye is adamant that the Bible is not literature altho it is the indispensable background to understanding Western literature. The book is not an easy read but it's a very worthwhile one.
