The Great Tradition
Anbieter: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Good. Here it is: The Great Tradition ? the book that doesn?t just have opinions about English literature, it arrives with its sleeves rolled up, clears its throat, and begins sorting the canon like a headmaster inspecting fingernails. This is the 1980 Pelican Books edition of F. R. Leavis?s famously uncompromising classic of literary criticism (ISBN: 0140214879 ), offered in Good condition by Crappy Old Books . It?s a proper old-school paperback ? the kind of book that looks like it has spent time on desks, in satchels, in lecture halls, and in the suspiciously quiet corners of second-hand shops where serious reading goes to brood. Expect honest wear consistent with being read and carried, but still solid, intact, and ready to judge you. Leavis?s mission is both simple and slightly terrifying: to argue that English fiction has a ?great tradition?, and to name who belongs in it. He does not do this in the modern spirit of ?everyone?s valid? He does it in the spirit of ?some of you are excellent, some of you are not, and I have brought reasons.? The result is criticism with the force of a verdict. If you?ve ever wanted to watch someone take the novel seriously enough to make it feel like a moral arena, this is your ticket. The headline roll-call is one of the reasons the book became infamous: Leavis champions a core lineage running through Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad , and he does so with an intensity that suggests literature is not merely entertainment but a form of civilisation?s self-maintenance. He?s not interested in books as décor or ?vibes? He?s interested in them as standards ? of language, sensibility, perception, and moral seriousness. You can almost hear the stern pen tapping on the margin. This is a wonderful book if you enjoy: The idea of the canon as a high-stakes argument rather than a polite list Close reading that feels like it could be used to sand down hardwood Being provoked into agreeing, disagreeing, and then re-reading the novel in question out of spite It?s also oddly refreshing. Leavis is so direct, so confident, so allergic to waffle, that even when you think he?s wrong you can?t accuse him of being vague. He makes you take a position. He makes you care. He makes you realise you?ve been saying ?classic? far too casually. Condition: Good ? a dependable, readable copy with the kind of minor wear that suits a book designed to be argued with. This is not a pristine ornament. It?s a tool. A slightly intimidating tool. Possibly a tool that would judge your bookshelf. From Crappy Old Books , where we happily rehome the sort of paperback that can turn an ordinary evening into a spirited domestic debate about whether Henry James is genius, madness, or both. Not just a book about great novels ? a book that insists great novels matter, and expects you to keep up. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5522
