Explanation:
The correct answer is Northrop Frye. Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in 1912, Frye was a preeminent Canadian literary critic and theorist whose work profoundly influenced the 20th-century intellectual landscape. He is best known for his landmark book Anatomy of Criticism (1957), which introduced a systematic approach to literary study based on archetypes and myths.
