R. Leavis.What was it like to be taught by this iconic figure? How and why did one become a Leavisite? In this unique book, part memoir, part study of Leavis, David Ellis takes himself as representative of that pool of lower middle class grammar school pupils from which Leavisites were largely recruited, and explores the beliefs of both the Leavises, their lasting impact on him and why ultimately they were doomed to failure.At the heart of this book are questions about what English should and can be that are by no means finally settled.English literatureStudy and teaching (Higher)EnglandCambridgeHistory20th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcEnglish teachersGreat BritainBiographyCriticsGreat BritainBiographyCambridge (England)Intellectual life20th centuryEnglish literatureStudy and teaching (Higher)HistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.English teachersCritics801.95092Ellis David1939-1600654UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910827691203321Memoirs of a Leavisite4061077UNINA
