The works within Archetypes are a revision and simplification of Frye's work. The emphasis on pragmatism and logical positivism abandon normative terms to limited place in intellectual discourse; the emphasis on developmental psycho-analytic theory places Frye's is a complete departure from Frye. The church is the mother and teacher; it is the guide to successful completion of pyscho-biological tasks first and foremost. The study and recognition of union with God is fundamentally an intellectual process. Religion goes in the same school satchel as reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Italian monograph discusses these psycho-biological tasks as a North American revision of European psychoanalytic theory. The Healing Angel is an extension of the allegorical aspects of Angels to the medical profession that introduce a separate series of arguments. Angels itself is an allegory, a satire, an attack on certain ideas and individuals which proceeds from one category to another of the above without alerting the reader. It meant to provoke the reader. My hope is that it contains "a little something" to which every faction may object. As for the poems: very few poets are competent critics of their own work.
