Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. © 1952. 307 pp. Solidly and tightly bound copy and dust jacket with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Dust jacket torn in some places. Synopsis: F. R. Leavis was the chief editor of Scrutiny, which between 1932 and 1953 had some claim on being the most influential literary journal in the English-speaking world. The Common Pursuit is a selection of Leaviss essays from Scrutiny, including his robust defence of Milton against T. S. Eliot, his deeply-felt engagement with Shakespeare, and his severe strictures on attempts to import sociology and political activism into the study of literature. The title of the book comes from a passage in Eliots The Function of Criticism, in which the poet argues that the critic must engage in the common pursuit of true judgment. For Leavis, this meant a strenuous insistence on discriminatory criticism - clear statements about what is good and morally mature and admirable, and equally clear condemnation of what is trivial. The Common Pursuit, with its controversial judgments of Bunyan and Auden, Swift and Forster, remains as challenging now as it did in 1952, and it is easy to see why Leavis - who was never offered a professorship by Cambridge University - held such sway over the study of English literature in his time.…
