Description
Queenie Dorothy Leavis stands among the most incisive critics of the novel, with her analytical eye trained primarily on the English novel during its greatest flowering in the nineteenth century. This collection brings together her most trenchant essays, previously scattered across articles, reviews in Scrutiny magazine, lectures, and introductions to editions of classic works. Leavis possessed wide-ranging intellectual interests extending to American and European literatures, and her anthropological approach to literature led her to investigate how the novel rose as a form and why it flourished across cultures. Her essays demonstrate remarkable critical depth and remain essential reading for students of literary history, the novel's development, and English literary criticism. Published by Cambridge University Press, this volume gathers work that has long circulated in academic circles but was never before collected in a single, comprehensive edition.
