For Continuity (Classic Reprint) by F. R. Leavis (PDF)

Description

Excerpt from For ContinuityBut perhaps the most common criticism will not be that the preoccupation of the following pages is insufficiently consistent, intense and intent upon practice.Where something like inconsistency may be fairly charged, and the effects of time found manifest in such ways as to suggest that, here at least, there should have been rewriting rather than reprinting, is in the treatment of D. H. Lawrence. And if I were to rewrite the long essay on him it would certainly be different. But I shall never again, I suppose, be able to give the body of his works the prolonged and intensive frequentation that went to the preparing of that essay, whatever its crudities. It records a serious attempt at stabilising and defining a reaction, and since his, I believe, is pre eminently a case in which the attitude of those who find him important is likely to be a developing one, and not simple, I feel justified in leaving the reprinted pieces, of changing tone and stress (and it is these chiefly which change), to convey together my sense of Lawrence’s significance. At any rate, the pro cedure is not merely self-indulgence: I cannot read some parts of the early set appraisal without wincing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
