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 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eVolume 17 No. 1 Spring, 1950: Mr Eliot and Social Biology L.A Cormican\u003cbr\u003e James's Debt to Hawthorne (III): The American Problem Marius Bewley\u003cbr\u003e 'The Windhover' F.N Lees\u003cbr\u003e The Novel as Dramatic Poem (IV): 'St. Mawr', by F.R Leavis\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence: Leon Edel and Marius Bewley\u003cbr\u003e Comments and Reviews\u003cbr\u003e Sin and Soda, The Cocktail Party, by T.S.
