The Northrop Frye Professor in Literary Theory is selected annually, to bring innovative comparative scholars to deliver one or two public lectures to the University of Toronto community, offer workshops and seminars at the Centre for Comparative Literature, and meet with faculty and students.
The Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto offers M.A. and Ph.D. programs of study in every major area from medieval to contemporary literature with particular emphasis on literary theory and criticism.
The range of languages, literatures and special resources available at the University of Toronto enables students of Comparative Literature to explore literary achievements in a vast spectrum of national and linguistic traditions, while the Centre’s strong emphasis on modern literary theory gives their studies critical and methodological coherence.
