Abstract

Doctor F.R. Leavis is strongly critical of the poets, critics and authors originating from the University of Cambridge. He feels that atmosphere at Cambridge was too near that of Bloomsbury group, and that academics there had no editorial integrity and who were too rooted in the establishment, despite their supposedly innovative ideas. Leavis' thoughts on Russian literature, criticism in general and academe are provided.
