About the book
Northrop Frye demonstrates how the Bible formed the fundamental foundation of the narrative structure, symbolism, and language of Western literature. In a comprehensive analysis, the author reveals the biblical archetypal patterns that permeate both canonical and popular literary works, showing that an understanding of the Bible is essential for any serious reader.
A sophisticated work of literary criticism that reconnects the humanities to their deepest cultural and spiritual substrate.
