Warkentin (emeritus, English, U. of Toronto) provides a pithy introduction to the texts that follow, giving the context for them within Frye's ouevre and noting where pertinent their role in
the thinking that led to Frye's masterpiece, The anatomy of criticism (which isn't included in this volume). The volume contains many short reviews and essays on poetry, myth, art, cultural
history, literature, symbolism, and other topics. Frye's longer essay, The educated imagination terminates the volume. Each selection is preceded by a brief introduction by the editor.
