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. 606 $aEnglish literature$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zEngland$zCambridge$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aEnglish teachers$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aCritics$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aCambridge (England)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aEnglish teachers 615 0$aCritics 676 $a801.95092 700 $aEllis$b David$f1939-$01600654 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827691203321 996 $aMemoirs of a Leavisite$94061077 997 $aUNINA
