Books like Anatomy of criticism by Northrop Frye

Name: Anatomy of criticism
Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Author: Northrop Frye

In *Anatomy of Criticism*, Northrop Frye challenges the view of criticism as limited to personal opinion or ritual. He presents criticism as a distinct structure of thought and knowledge, organized through four essays on historical, ethical, archetypical, and rhetorical criticism. Using works from ancient times to the present, Frye reconceives literary criticism as a total history of ideas rather than a simple linear progression. He emphasizes that literature is a space where imagination finds ideals that inspire belief, action, and the vision of a desired society.
