Anatomy of Criticism

Frye's categorization feels very comprehensive but also very intentional. I'm curious what inspired his choices and how he mapped out these patterns across different periods.

His insights into recurring mythic themes made me see familiar stories in a new light. Has anyone else experienced this awakening from reading his analysis?

The way the book is organized into different sections is fascinating. I'm wondering whether Frye mapped out this structure beforehand or if it came together as he wrote.
