Biblical and Classical Myths: Mythological Framework of Western Culture
by Northrop Frye Jay Macpherson"In the 1970s and 1980s, Northrop Frye and Jay Macpherson co-taught at the University of Toronto's Victoria College a very influential course on the history of Western mythology in which Frye focused on the Biblical myths and Macpherson on the Classical. Biblical and Classical Myths attempts to re-create the remarkable synergy of that course, combining Frye's lectures (published only very recently in the Collected Works of Northrop Frye) and Macpherson's popular 1962 textbook, Four Ages: The Classical Myths. Frye's lectures on the Bible, which make up the first half of the book, expound on a wide variety of topics related to Biblical imagery and narrative. In the second half of the book, Macpherson recounts the major Classical myths, exploring their interconnections and their survival in later European traditions. By complementing the Biblical tradition with the Classical, this volume provides a comprehensive introduction to Western mythology. Engaging and accessible, Biblical and Classical Myths represents a unique achievement in scholarship and is an essential volume for students and others interested in literature and cultural studies." (Frye Studies) The late northrop frye was a professor in the Department of English at Victoria College, University of Toronto. jay macpherson is a professor emeritus in the Department of English at Victoria College, University of Toronto.
