Synopsis

The great English novelists are Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James and Joseph Conrad...' So begins what is arguably F. R. Leavis's most controversial book, The Great Tradition, an uncompromising critical and polemical survey of English fiction that was first published in 1948. He puts a powerful case for moral seriousness as the necessary criterion for inclusion in any list of the finest novelists.
