Condizione: Gut. 208 p. Einband leicht berieben, insgesamt vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Binding slightly rubbed, overall yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - The contents of this volume were largely intended to form the third part of the trilogy whose earlier volumes were The Living Principle and Thought, Words and Creativity. The essays and papers here testify to the widening scope of F. R. Leavis's concern with the problems and predicaments of contemporary civilization, with the idea of the university as a creative centre of an educated public, and with the nature of thought, in a non-philosophical sense, as it occurs and operates in creative writing. Among others, they treat of such writers as Blake and Wordsworth, whose greatness seems indisputable and yet is hard to account for satisfactorily. That greatness cannot be merely 'historical', for 'great literature has its life in the present or not at all'. 'I, as is fairly widely known,' Leavis remarks with some irony, 'believe in the critic's business.' The mode of discussion characterizing the lectures is often, as he said at the time, 'frankly personal and informal', and (in particular) 'Gerard Manley Hopkins: Reflections after Fifty Years' and 'Memories of Wittgenstein' do much to evoke, with sharpness and economy, the past of the critic himself. From the early 1920s, when he began to teach in Cambridge, until his death in 1978, his 'business' and his life were inextricably interwoven. Several essays of earlier date, now not easily accessible, have been included: on Coleridge and Arnold as critics, on Hardy's poetry and on Joyce's 'Work in Progress'.
