A Selection from 'Scrutiny' (Two Volume Set)

First Edition (Cambridge, 1968). Spare light pencil markings and annotations passim (the latter are exceedingly scarce; Volume 2 is almost unmarked throughout). No ink markings; No inscriptions. Clean and tight covers, rubbing to most edges and corners, with a light crease across the front bottom corner of Volume 1. No creasing to the spines. Volume 1: xii, 312pp; Volume 2: x, 320pp. (A dense and comprehensive selection, incorporating articles from Vol. 1 in 1933 up to, and including, Leavis's closing 'Valedictory' in 1953. Queenie Leavis's 90-page study of 'Jane Austen' amounts almost to a free-standing critical monograph on the novelist.).
