Journey without Arrival (A Personal Point of View from Northrop Frye)

• 1975 ----- color ----- 57 min ----- 16mm
• (Images of Canada (CBC-TV) series) Northrop Frye, world renowned Canadian writer and teacher, appears on location in various parts of Canada, musing aloud about the country, Canadian attitudes and their origin. From the many artists who have tried to capture Canada's elusive identity, he separates out several. In the poetry of E. J. Pratt, the paintings of Emily Carr, Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, Frye finds not only personal expressions of Canada's spirit and landscape, but poignant perceptions about its collective--though uncertain--consciousness.
