Abstract
Northrop Frye’s view of “bestseller” literature forms the focus of
this article. The legacy of postmodernism entailed the demise of the
division between high and low cultural products. However, this
did not solve the problem concerning the value of a given work.
Frye offers a different model. While Frye defends popular literature
proper, he has general reservations about commercial bestsellers,
and his choice of concepts represents an interesting contribution to
the current discussion.
