The Great Tradition (third Edition)
About This Novel
"The Great Tradition" is Leavis's masterpiece of novel criticism, first published in 1948. By analyzing the works of three great novelists, George Eliot, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad, and Dickens's "Hard Times," Leavis constructs the "great tradition" of British novels, and regards ethical sensibility and moral concern as important criteria for judging literary classics. This book not only establishes a "correct awareness of appropriate distinctions" in the field of novel criticism and provides a highly authoritative novel reading list for professors and students of English departments in Western universities, but also provides a paradigm and direction for future cultural studies of the Birmingham School, and has a status that cannot be ignored in the history of British literary criticism.
