Northrop Frye was an important Canadian literary critic and educator. Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, on July 14, 1912, his family moved to Moncton when he was a young boy. He lived here until 1929, when he moved to Toronto to further his studies.
In 2000, the Northrop Frye International Literary Festival (later simply called the Festival Frye Festival) was created in Moncton. It remains the largest literary event in Atlantic Canada, and the only bilingual international literary festival in the country.
At the location, you are now looking at a bronze statue of Northrop Frye. It was commissioned by the Frye Festival and unveiled July 14, 2012, on the 100th anniversary of his birth. This virtual was placed on the 110th anniversary, July 14, 2022. Happy Birthday, Mr. Frye!
