Visiting Fellows and Associates of the Northrop Frye Centre
The Northrop Frye Centre offers the title of Visiting Fellow of the Northrop Frye Centre to established scholars visiting the area, who wish to work at the Centre and at Victoria University.

The number of appointments is limited by the space available at the Centre; preference will be given to long-term visitors. The title may be held for up to one year. All Fellows will have access to the libraries and the Centre's facilities, and will be welcome in the academic community of Victoria University.

Victoria's E. J. Pratt Library possesses the impressive Northrop Frye Collection, composed of manuscripts, notebooks, typescripts, correspondence and annotated books. The University of Toronto library system has additional resources of more than eight million volumes in all disciplines.

Work proposed should have some connection with the Centre's concerns. Applicants should submit an outline of their proposed work and a curriculum vitae, at least three months in advance of their stay to the Director.

The Associates of the Frye Centre
The Centre will also offer the title of Associate of the Northrop Frye Centre, to a maximum of five Associates, for up to one year. This title will be given to junior scholars, at the beginning of their careers, or to non-academic visitors with a strong reason for affiliation with the Centre. All Associates will have access to the libraries and the Centre's facilities, and will be welcome in the academic community of Victoria University. Preference will be given to those with a superior record who would not otherwise have an academic affiliation. Work proposed should have some connection with the Centre's concerns. The appointment carries no remuneration, and is renewable once.

Applicants should submit to the Director of the Centre, by February 15: an outline of their proposed work, a curriculum vitae (including, for junior scholars, a graduate transcript), a writing sample of not more than twenty pages, and three letters of recommendation to be mailed directly to the Director.

The decision will be announced by mid-March.

Applications in both categories should be sent to:
