商品簡介
Beginning with an account of noted literary critic F.R. Leavis's life and career, this study examines his influence on the world of English literature. From his ability in 1932 to shift critical emphasis away from Milton towards Shakespeare and his successors such as T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, to his later concentration on the novel in which he established a "tradition of greatness" for the English novel, Ferns (English, McMaster U., Ontario, Canada) covers the continued importance of Leavis and his work.
