Herman Northrop Frye, CC, FRSC byl kanadský literární kritik.

Frye vyrostl v Monctonu . Studoval teologii na Victoria University, části University of Toronto, a byl vysvěcen na kněze United Church of Canada. Po vysvěcení studoval nějaký čas v Oxfordu, aby se poté na zbytek své profesní kariéry vrátil na Victoria University, s výjimkou let 1974–1975, kdy byl "Nortonským profesorem " na Harvardově universitě.

Prvního mezinárodního uznání se dostalo jeho analýze veršů Williama Blakea , kterou publikoval již jako student. Frye ukázal, že jsou založeny na systému metafor z Bible a Miltonova Ztraceného ráje. Tato práce byla publikována roku 1947 pod názvem Fearful Symmetry. Analýze Bible se věnuje v práci Great code. Jeho vrcholným dílem byla kniha Anatomy of Criticism: Four Essays z roku 1957. V letech 1976–1983 šlo o třetí nejcitovanější publikaci v humanitních a sociálních vědách.. Stručnější a přístupnější formou zpracoval své názory v závěru života v knize The double vision.

“The entire Bible, viewed as a "divine comedy," is contained within a U-shaped story of this sort, one in which man, as explained, loses the tree and water of life at the beginning of Genesis and gets them back at the end of Revelation.”

“I have never had the sort of experience the mystics talk about, never felt a revelation of reality through or beyond nature, never felt like Adam in Paradise, never felt, in direct experience, that the world is wholly other than it seems…The nearest I have come to such experiences are glimpses of my own creative powers…and these are moments or intervals of inspiration rather than vision. I’m not sure that I want it unless I can have clarity about other things with it.”

“There's something in all of us that wants to drift toward a mob, where we can all say the same thing without having to think about it, because everybody is all alike except people that we can hate or persecute. Every time we use words, we're either righting against this tendency or giving in to it. When we fight against it, we're taking the side of genuine and permanent human civilization.”

“The soul is an immaculate virgin…Then it goes out and gets fucked by the world all day long & staggers back a baggy-eyed old whore, still hoping that after a sleep the Moment of purification will come again.”

“The written word is far more powerful than simply a reminder: it re-creates the past in the present, and gives us, not the familiar remembered thing, but the glittering intensity of the summoned-up hallucination.”

“Education is something that affects the whole person, not bits and pieces of him. It doesn't just train the mind: it's a social and moral development too.”

“We relate the poems and plays and novels we read and see, not to the men who wrote them, nor even directly to ourselves; we relate them to each other. Literature is a world that we try to build up and enter at the same time.”

“In literature you don't just read one poem or novel after another, but enter into a complete world of which every work of literature forms part. This affects the writer as much as it does the reader.”

Whether my answers are any good or not, they represent a fair amount of thinking about the questions.

“A public that tries to do without criticism, and asserts that it knows what it wants or likes, brutalizes the arts and loses its cultural memory. Art for art's sake is a retreat from criticism which ends in an impoverishment of civilized life itself.”
