And what can there be in common between an imagination nurtured on the prairies, where it is a centre of consciousness diffusing itself over a vast flat expanse stretching to a remote horizon, and one nurtured in British Columbia, where it is in the midst of gigantic trees and mountains leaping into the sky all around it, and obliterating the horizon everywhere?\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"Any publication by Northrop Frye is an important literary event; this one is of the highest importance to Canadian literature.
