In the excerpt of Northrop Frye's CBC Massey Lectures entitled The Educated Imagination, Frye states that he used to think people who wondered why we should study literature were "naive," but now, it does seem a difficult question.
What are some of the reasons Frye feels we study literature? What are your reasons for studying literature now? What are some of the reasons you hear to avoid studying literature in university? How would you counter those arguments? Why is the study of literature important in a Canadian context?
