Book excerpt: The Sundering Flood is the last of a series of heroic fantasies that William Morris wrote during the final decade of his life. In it, he dramatized the democratic ideal toward which he worked in his public role as spokesman for the Socialist League. This ideal is visible from the novel's beginning, when, even though he is the youngest member of the household, Osberne's keen sense and bravery earn him the position of family spokesman. That is not to say that there is unanimity; one man, known as Surly John, speaks out against him but is shouted down by the rest. Surly John is never punished for his opposition, illustrating Morris' view that democracy must be founded on tolerance.Later, when trouble threatens, the people hold a Thing-Mote or town meeting to select Osberne as their war leader. This is not a position Osberne seeks, but the will of the people and his own recognition of his ability are too strong for him to decline. A strict democrat might protest against the "tyranny of the majority" visible in this election, but not when the minority consists only of Surly John.

Book excerpt: The Sundering Flood is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature.[1] The Sundering Flood was Morris' last work of fiction, completed only in rough draft, with the ending dictated from his deathbed. It was edited posthumously by his daughter May into finished form for publication and published in 1897.Morris considered his fantasies a revival of the medieval tradition of chivalrous romances; consequently, they tend to have sprawling plots of strung-together adventures.[citation needed] His use of archaic language has been seen as difficult by some modern readers

Book excerpt: In the third published volume of Canadian literary critic Frye's (1912-91) 77 holograph notebooks, the material is mostly from the 1970s, when he was writing the first of his books on the Bible, The Great Code. However, it begins with Notebook Three from the late 1940s in which he writes primarily on religious themes. It concludes with Notebook 23 from the middle 1980s, written between his first and second book on the Bible; and one from the 1960s devoted largely to his reading of Dante's Purgatorio and the first ten cantos of the Paradiso. Altogether the volume contains 11 notebooks, three sets of typed notes, and a transcription of 24 lectures on The Mythological Framework of Western Culture in 1981-82.

Book excerpt: Northrop Frye’s Uncollected Prose, which features twenty-one pieces in the form of notes, prefaces, reviews, and talks, is the latest addition to the impressive body of writing by and about Frye. Among the highlights of the collection are Frye’s “Notes on Romance,” written in preparation for the lectures that eventually became The Secular Scripture; a newly discovered early notebook, parts of which may date from his second year as an undergraduate at Victoria College; and a pair of previously unavailable interviews. Expertly introduced by Robert D. Denham, one of the leading editors of Frye’s papers, Northrop Frye’s Uncollected Prose offers valuable insight into Frye’s early life, his research methodology, and thought process, and is further proof of the remarkable depth and range of his work.
