About Frye

Reading  an old post  on Frye I found this comment:
"trebor mahned said...      It's 'Frye' not 'Frey'"   

From this I discovered  a website based on Frye. 
One of the posts was essentially a speech by the 
former Governor of Canada.
Perhaps that speech may form the body of another

Here's an excerpt on Frye's notebooks: 

"The depth and complexity of Frye’s purgatorial journey could be only dimly perceived in a selection of the notebooks.

Notebooks are generally a private form of writing, and Frye certainly never entertained any notion of publishing them himself. “I don’t need to unscramble that silly parenthesis: I’m not publishing this,” he says at one point, reminding himself that he need not worry himself with stylistic propriety. And in the course of a series of poignant entries following the death of his first wife, he remarks, “It’s a good thing this notebook is not for publication, because everyone else would be bored by my recurring to Helen.” But there is a difference between the absence of an intent on Frye’s part to use the notebooks for anything other than his own writing projects and the knowledge, which he seems clearly to have had, that the notebooks would some day be published. The very fact that we have seventy-six notebooks, along with the files of typed notes he preserved, provides some evidence of Frye’s awareness that these documents would someday be read by others. He appears to have considered this form of his writing as of a different order from the countless reams of manuscripts, including thousands of pages of holograph and typed drafts, that he consigned to the dustbin. Moreover, while the notebooks occasionally contain a laconic entry, a hasty jotting, an outline, almost all of the paragraphs are syntactically complete units. They are not the polished prose of Frye’s published work, but they do reveal a genuine concern for the rhetorical unit that can stand by itself. Such care in the construction of the prose would hardly seem required if Frye were writing only for himself. In addition, the notebooks are rather meticulously laid out, their pages numbered and each entry separated from the next by a blank line. Frye even revised his notebooks, correcting mistakes, inserting an omitted word here and there, and cancelling some of the repeated passages.(From a post on Denham's website)
