In professional (meaning profitable because it has been successful produced and marketed) encyclopedias, individuals of the stature of Northrop Frye are not given such massive (and repeated) text simply because people won't read it. Specialist researchers etc. (doctorates) use other sources that provide vast amounts of boring detail. Maybe I'm wrong, but this article exemplifies a "Too much" situation that the author could perhaps have condensed....DW
I deleted the excessive bibiliography. If someone wants to create an entry on each book, then perhaps all of the versions could be included there, but it's still pretty excessive. The article was already uneditable in some browsers. -- Zoe
Mattbr30 edited the MA link to point to the postgraduate MA page; Ayre is clear in his biography that NF was at Oxford for a BA which turned into an MA. I've corrected the link to point to the Oxbrdige MA, but the term requirements, post-graduation, may well have been different then. I don't think it's worth a note, but thought I'd mention.

Should there be a section on the Northrop Frye Festival in Moncton? Wikifriendawesome 12:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I added this article to the Canada Wikiproject, and had initially used a 'B' rating because WikiProject Biography had given that rating, but I have changed to a 'C' rating because the article needs some copy editing; particularly in the Biography section, where several sentences are presented as though they were bullet points.

What about Frye's creation of the idea of the Mythos? Louis Tyson summarizes this in her "Critical Theory Today;" however, there is no mention of this in the work on Frye. Neither could I find another page about this. Just thought it was interesting, since Tyson makes it out as thought this is one of Frye's most important contributions to literary criticism. -- 129.114.208.149 ( talk) 06:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
In the Spring 2012 issue of U of T Magazine there is an article on Northrup Frye entitled "Frye's Anatomy" text by Alec Scott, pp 34-39. There is mention of a much older and favoured brother Howard who died in World War 1. There is no record of the death on the CWGC site http://www.cwgc.org Frye's wife Helen died of Alzheimer's Disease.-- User:Brenont ( talk) 17:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I have located details of the brother Eraytus Howard Frye, private Canadian Infantry 14th Bn, on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site http://www.cwgc.org/search-for-war-dead/casualty/616679/FRYE,%20ERAYTUS%20HOWARD He died in the Second Battle of the Somme August 18, 1918 and is buried in the Manitoba Cemetery, Caix, France. . The death record at ancestry.ca gives additional information Name: Eraytus Howard Frye Other: Mrs Catherine Frye Birth: 29 Mar 1899 - Lowell, Massachusetts, United States of America Residence: Sherbrooke -- User:Brenont ( talk) 19:14, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

This article lacks the one thing that caused me to read it: the origin of the name Northrop. Neither of his parents bore the name so there must be something significant which prompted his parents to apply this middle name. Humphrey Tribble ( talk) 03:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
