Welcome to my website.

I am associate editor of The Collected Works of Northrop Frye, based at the Northrop Frye Centre at Victoria University, Toronto.

The Centre is described on the Victoria University web site, under “Libraries, Archives and Research Centres”.

The Collected Works of Northrop Frye project was launched in a small way in 1991, and at its height employed six people. It is now winding down as the last three text volumes make their way through the press.To learn more about the project, click here.

Here is the text of a talk I gave introducing Frye's ideas.

Before the Frye project began, I was for nine years the postdoctoral fellow at The Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, where among other things I compiled the master index to all 32 volumes.

I also work as an independent scholar, researching and writing about Canadian historical and literary figures. For more information about these non-Frye books I have written to date, please select any of them below.

I live in Toronto, where I strive to grow a garden, and enjoy the company of my three daughters (one of whom actually lives in England), their partners, and my adorable grandsons.
