Responding to Merv Nicholson<\/a>:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it the case as well that Frye is different in the attention he devoted to Spirit, especially during the last decade of his life, when he wrote about hardly anything else? There\u2019s a pulsating drive in his late work to get beyond the poetic. The social function of both literature and criticism is, to be sure, a part of his \u201cdifference,\u201d and this is an area that younger people interested in Frye might well investigate, as it has not been comprehensively examined. Another area, which relates to Frye as a religious thinker, is his theory of metaphor. As I\u2019ve snooped around in the various writings on metaphor from Aristotle<\/a> to I.A. Richards<\/a>, Max Black<\/a>, and Paul Ricoeur<\/a>, I don\u2019t find anyone who bases a theory of metaphor on the principle of identity. They all fall back on theories of resemblance or substitution, theories that are founded on the principle of analogy (Blake\u2019s similitude). Frye is different in insisting on what he calls in The Double Vision \u201cimaginative literalism.\u201d Frye on metaphor is another area of his thinking that deserves systematic exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
