Scrutiny was first issued quarterly from Cambridge between 1932 and
1953, the principal editor throughout being Dr Leavis. It is now
recognized as a formative influence on English intellectual and
cultural life worthy to rank with the great reviews of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This 2008 reissue is of the
1963 combined set, including a final volume containing an important
Retrospect by Dr Leavis and a substantial analytical index.
Scrutiny offers an almost complete critical history of English
literature from Chaucer to the mid-twentieth century. Medieval
literature, Shakespeare, the seventeenth-century poets, Pope,
Dryden, Johnson, the great romantics, the Victorians, and nearly
all the important modern writers are seriously examined. Many of
the articles have become classics, and resulted in revisions of
previously accepted views. An important feature of Scrutiny, still
of great interest, is the book review section, where many of the
important books of the time, and some of the pretentious ones too,
were reviewed as they appeared.
