Literary Theory Myth as the Archetype,(A critical review)

Y. P. Deshpande

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The paper begins with Northrop Frye’s argument that we teach or learn criticism, not literature. It reviews Frye’s model of archetypal criticism which seeks to interpret a text in the context of a myth and an archetype. It concludes that while the model widens the scope of literary criticism the singularity of meaning implied in it indicates its limitation.
