    The Lost Perspective
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2010*

Quiet and sustained literary revelation is how I would describe my experience on reading this book, Words with Power: all of a sudden there is the magic again, in reading and in "why" I should keep reading. The picture is complete, and professor Frye reminds us that it was there all the time, like Poe's The Purloined Letter.How refreshing it is to listen (this is what reading Frye feels like) to a top specialist explaining why, after all, literature is all about us, people, and why no jargon or scholarly pirouettes should obscure that fact. Being myself a specialist in another field this is downright inspiring and encouraging. The Bible is at the top of a golden chain that William Blake saw and Frye secures, we are the chain, the living words of a book that lives, not in the paper, but in every spark of genius and down to the shyest creative labor.We possess the key to the door, the richness of the kingdom: I owe to Frye to remind me where I had left the keys.

    A Gift to Humanity
  

*by V***  on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019*

The most important book I’ve ever read. If Christianity has a future as something other than a political ideology, Frye is illumining its path. Words With Power presents the imagination with a way of reading the Bible that culminates in its wedding of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is more than literature, Frye says, but to participate in the more we must speak the language of myth and metaphor—the language which the literary arts recreate.

    the best literary theorist of the twentieth century
  

*by N***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016*

Northrop Frye is indispensable, the best literary theorist of the twentieth century.  He built on a core of insights, which he developed into a coherent system, throughout his entire career.  This book needs to be read in the context of his body of works, starting with Fearful Symmetry, his study of Blake's mythology, and the magnum opus, An Anatomy of Criticism.  His short book about T.S. Eliot is essential as well.
