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."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Holloway -- First impressions -- Sanctimonious prick? -- Close reading -- Time out -- QDL -- Class -- Politics -- France -- The Richmond lecture -- Loose end -- Research -- Theory -- Australia -- Shakespeare, Stendhal and James Smith -- Teaching in the UK -- Lawrence -- ...and Eliot -- Epilogue. 600 10 $a Leavis, F.
