In this first annotated edition of F. R. Leavis' famous critique of
C. P. Snow's influential argument about 'the two cultures', Stefan
Collini reappraises both its literary tactics and its purpose as
cultural criticism. The edition will enable new generations of
readers to understand what was at stake in the dispute and to
appreciate the enduring relevance of Leavis's attack on the goal of
economic growth. In his comprehensive introduction Collini situates
Leavis's critique within the wider context of debates about
'modernity' and 'prosperity', not just the 'two cultures' of
literature and science. Collini emphasizes the difficulties faced
by the cultural critic in challenging widely-held views and offers
an illuminating analysis of Leavis's style. The edition provides
full notes to references and allusions in Leavis's texts.
