KEATS 241 Note Beauty is Truth 274 Klappentext: Here is a scrutiny of verse from Donne to Keats, showing the main lines of development in the English tradition the essential structure. In this overview, Leavis has given us genuinely new judgments which are now part of our thinking. Leavis's great strength as a critic lies in his loving, delicate, discriminating probing of a writer's fusion of language and thought. - New York Times Book Review Influential unignorable Leavis's aim, the aim for which he maintained the centrality of literary criticism, was the creation of an intelligent public - it was likely to be a small one - in the midst of a mass culture otherwise sunk in materialism and blankness. - Denis Donoghue Leavis was not as other critics. He was a guru, a leader, a master of those who know His work was distinguished by the close reading of texts or selected passages No twentieth-century critic has been more insistent that the function of literature is ultimately moral, and that criticism must always be to a large extent a form of moral discrimination. - John Gross, New York Review of Books Introduction by Paul Dean (Extract): Revaluation: Tradition and Development in English Poetry (1936) was Leavis's second book. It grew out of lectures, given to Cambridge undergraduates in 1932, which coincided with the publication of New Bearings in English Poetry, the book to which Revaluation forms a clear companion piece and its dedication To Downing College reflects Leavis's gratitude to the institution which had provided him with job security. His aim in writing it he expressed in a letter to his publisher: It's to be the book Richards should have written to justify his title Practical Criticism: that is, it's to be all representative analysis, theory being completely subordinate and ancillary. That strategic decision was to provoke a critique from Rene Wellek to which Leavis made an even more celebrated reply (see Literary Criticism and Philosophy in The Common Pursuit). One must not come to Revaluation looking for traditional narrative literary history. Leavis was one of the first to perceive the inadequacy and sterility of that approach Revaluation is a far more sober work. Its muted tone is, indeed, a crucial element in making its effects tell. It is what Leavis desiderated for the student: his own grasped history of English poetry. There are fruitful reminders that Leavis had begun as a history scholar - for instance, his following-out of the implications of Eliot's dissociation of sensibility in Chapter 1, or his account of the Augustan polite ideal in Chapter 4 - but the social history is introduced with a proper concern for relevance, always in the context of literary discussion. At the same time we notice the acuteness of Leavis's response to changing idiom and nuance - so different from the linguistician's laboratory approach - which comes out particularly in the much execrated but actually compelling chapter on Milton. Shakespeare is a constant background presence and contrast, as Leavis regrets The extreme and consistent remoteness of Milton's medium from any English that was ever spoken, showing how this limits Milton's verse and how, in association with Spenser and Augustan Miltonizing, it later compromised the work of Tennyson. Social, literary, and linguistic history are for Leavis, as for Eliot, inextricably related: the dexterity with which their interdependence is kept before our eyes is one of his great achievements in this book. The chief value of Revaluation for our time is its reminder of the importance of analysis. It is another common misrepresentation to complain that Leavis never actually discusses any poetry in detail rather, he knows when detail is worth going into, and how much detail is needed to make a particular point without redundancy. In his Introduction he says explicitly that No treatment of poetry is worth much that does not keep very close to the concrete, and that the critic's ideal should be to work as much as possible in terms of particular analysis - analysis of poems or passages, and to say nothing that cannot be related immediately to judgments about producible texts. In his reply to Wellek, Leavis explained that not being himself a philosopher he could not state the theoretical premises of his criticism but must leave his analyses to speak for themselves. And he added, There is, I hope, a chance that I may in this way have advanced theory, even if I haven't done the theorizing. Again we find him adumbrating a matter - the difference between the critic's approach to thought and language and that of the philosopher - which he was to explore repeatedly in the following decades. Today, when theory means something so different from what it did then, the quoted remark can easily be misunderstood and inevitably his reticence in this respect will exasperate readers who assume that all criticism is theory in disguise or that theory is more important than criticism. But for those who will read him without prejudice, preferably first knowing well the major authors he discusses, he remains an unequalled illuminator, and Revaluation preserves the living voice of a great teacher, among whose pupils it enables us, fortunately, still to count ourselves.
