Abstract: | Northrop Frye (1912–1991) was one of the leading literary theorists of his day, and this article shows the ways in which his
theories continue to be relevant for both the field of literary criticism and elementary classroom education today. The author,
an eminent scholar in the field of children’s literature in her own right and a student of Northrop Frye, presents her interpretation
of his major theories as they relate to reading and writing pedagogy in the elementary school classroom. This article articulates
some of the key issues developed in the author's book, The Child As Critic, which has undergone a number of printings and editions, and which may well be as close as we get to a handbook for teaching
the art of literature, as Northrop Frye might have written it. |
