Abstract
In the late 1950s, Margaret Atwood became a student of Northrop Frye at Victoria College in the University of Toronto. Although it’s doubtful that anyone noticed at the time, Atwood’s decision to attend Vic (and Frye’s decision to stay there) put what would become two of Canada’s most well-known public intellectuals at the geographic and historic start of the CanLit Boom of the 1960s, the largest single increase in literary publishing in Canadian history. This conversation explores Atwood’s thoughts on her teacher and Canada’s thinker: the ideas they shared (and didn’t share), his influence on herself and others, his legacy today.
