Opis

Gary Day explains why F.R. Leavis has been reviled by the critical establishment for so long and why it is time to meet the challenge of his work.

Recenzje

'Day's provocative claims in his introduction are supported in the body of his book by close and fascinating argument, for example linking Leavis's notion of 'the third realm' to Lacan and Derrida.' - PN Review

'... this is a book that takes risks not to court controversy, but rather to cultivate a more constructive critical debate about some highly influential figures and some very interesting ideas. It does not tell us which of the warring gods we should serve, but it does suggest how best we might benefit from their respective gifts.' - Times Higher Educational Supplement
