Frye's theories are often associated with which other literary figure?
Virginia Woolf
William Shakespeare
William Blake
James Joyce
Answer
William Blake is often associated with Northrop Frye's theories, particularly his concept of myth and archetypal patterns in literature. Frye believed that Blake's work exemplified his theory of the "anatomy of criticism," which explored the universal structures and symbols found in all literature. Blake's emphasis on imagination, symbolism, and the cyclical nature of existence resonated with Frye's ideas about the archetypal patterns that shape human experience and literary expression.
