Reviews

In this trio, published in 1983, 1975, and 1947, respectively, the great British literary critic analyzes poetry from Milton and Pope to the Romantics on up to T.S. Eliot. LJ's reviewer commented that the "pieces illustrate Leavis's perception of himself as one who [tries] to communicate `with consummate delicacy...the creative work of a great writer' and who saw as his duty the Sisyphean labor of `reestablishing an educated reading public' " (LJ 2/1/83). More for the academic crowd.
