Description

Explore the profound literary insights of Queenie Dorothy Leavis in this first volume of her collected essays. As one of the most respected critics of the novel, Leavis focuses her analysis on the nineteenth-century English novel, a period she considered its greatest era. Her work goes beyond a single era or nation, as she applies an anthropological view to literature to understand how the novel rose and why it flourished across European literatures. This collection brings together her remarkable writings that originally appeared as articles and reviews in Scrutiny, as well as her lectures and introductions to classic novels. Readers will find her trenchant views on both the English and American novel. For students of literary history and criticism, this volume provides a rare opportunity to access her collected thoughts in one place, offering a deep look into the development and success of the novel form.
