Reviews
Frye (1912-1991) analyzes the Bible's imagery, narrative structure and influence upon literary classics in his tremendously rich sequel to The Great Code: The Bible and Literature ., In his introduction to The Great Code ( LJ 6/1/82), Frye promised a sequel to his work on "the Bible and literature." Here is the promised volume, though it is not an entirely new book. In Part 1, Frye restates his critical position, his structural principle: the identity of mythology and literature. In Part 2, he focuses on specific mythological themes (mountain, garden, cave, furnace) that are variations of the cosmic axis mundi image. Throughout, he demonstrates his interest in the mythological structures that inform literature, including the Bible, instead of simply the literary characteristics of the Bible. While it is undeniable that myths often serve as structuring elements in the Bible, occasionally Frye allows myth criticism to overwhelm the text rather than shed light upon it. Thus there is the risk of forcing the text into the pre-established structure. This aside, there is enlightenment available for readers willing to work through it. Recommended. - Craig W. Beard, Har ding Univ. Lib., Searcy, Ark.

    I’m obsessed! Seller was very nice and answered questions quickly. The pictures and description matched and the pricing is good. I was out of town when this was delivered and was scared to open it due to how fragile it is, but they packaged it so well that it would be impossible for anything to happen. Shipped very quickly too! Highly recommend this seller!

    This Franklin Mint Model T Ford didnt have a box but they packaged that delicate little car well enough to send it to Mars like the probes that bounced on the surface. Everything was as described in the listing. Shipping went great and I thought the whole transaction was great value! Would have no problems buying from them again. A+!
