Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I was interested in Leavis because he was a well known British critic who reviewed a book by C.P. Snow, titled The Two Cultures, I think. The review was so scathing that it caused a scandal and provoked a battle in print. Snow had been a scientist, had turned novelist, and accused non-scientist writers of knowing next to nothing about science, which he thought was inexcusable.( My connection is many years in physics.)This book about Leavis was mildly interesting, but although I enjoy reading, the study of literature doesn’t interest me much. If you know about British criticism of about 1928 to 1960, you might like it.
