弗莱论加拿大文学的发生发展

Frye's Exposition on Canadian Literature in English

弗莱不仅是20世纪重要批评流派原型批评的扛鼎之人,在加拿大英语文学发生发展研究中也卓有建树:其对加拿大英语文学的传统进行了梳理,从文化身份的角度审视文学主题,阐释了后加拿大文化与国际化的内在关联,从而清晰地勾勒出加拿大英语文学的传承发生学、环境发生学及国际化的特征。

Northrop Frye is the acknowledged initiator and standard-bearer of archetypal criticism,one of the dominant literary theories in the 20th century,and at the same time he had made remarkable contributions in outlining the genesis and development of Canadian literature in English：he made a penetrating enquiry of its tradition,conducted a study of literary themes from the perspective of cultural identity,and provided an interpretation of the inherent connection between post-Canadian culture and the internationalization of Canadian literature in English, thus presenting a clear picture of its inheritance,environmental influence and maturity.
