English Literature in our Time and the University : The Clark Lectures 1967

Omtale

First published by Cambridge in 1979, this text is taken from the 1967 Clark Lectures and is a vigourous defence of the study of English in a modern university. Leavis is concerned with 'keeping alive, potent and developing the full human consciousness of ends and values and human nature that comes to us out of the long creative continuity of our culture'.
