Q. D. Leavis: A Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Sources

José Ramón Díaz Fernández Universidad de Málaga

ABSTRACT Critics usually describe Q. D. Leavis as the author of the influential Fiction and the ReadingPublic and as F. R. Leavis's wife. However, although both critics are concerned with the relationship between literature and life, she has a style of her own and wider interests. The present bibliography of all writings by and about her is an attempt to contribute to her long-due recognition as an important figure in contemporary literary criticism.

It's my wife (who's very different from me—henee our lifelong collaboration is historie) who's the authority on prose fiction. She's both critic and scholar. I think that, on the novel, she has no rival in the world.

The words above (Robertson vi) offer an aecurate description of Q. D. Leavis, wife and collaborator of F. R. Leavis and clearly one of the most undervalued figures in twentieth-century literary criticism. Queenie Dorothy Roth was born in London in a Jewish family and studied at Girton College, Cambridge University, where she became the student of her future husband F. R. Leavis. She married him in 1929 and wrote her doctoral dissertation on the novel, understanding the genre in a broad sense, since, as she stated in its introduction, "it is at least as important to take account of the fiction that does not happen to be, or to have become, literature as of the novéis which ultimately get into the textbooks" (Fiction 13). In it she also discussed the process of cultural decline which, in her opinión, had started in the seventeenth century. Her dissertation was published in 1932 under the title Fiction and the Reading Public (item Al 1 in the present bibliography) and had very negative reviews, possibly because of its really new approach. This work has nevertheless had a major influence in the field of literary studies and its continuing valué

is shown by the great number of reviews which appeared after its reprinting in 1965. In his famous article "Scrutiny: A Retrospect," F. R. Leavis indicated that the main contributions of this work were "its documentation and analysis of the developments that had left our culture in the plight that disquieted and challenged us" (2) and acknowledged the central role of the dissertation in the founding of the periodical Scrutiny (1932-1953), which was to undertake a revisión of the English literary canon.

Q. D. Leavis became, together with her husband, one of the major contributors to Scrutiny, with a great number of articles and reviews between 1932 and 1947. Her work centred on the nineteenth- and twentieth-century novel, especially women writers, showing an interest in women's writings many years before Feminism as a movement carne ínto existence. Q. D. Leavis herself used to describe her work as "concentrated seminal work" (Englishness 25). She produced long and controversial articles on writers such as Jane Austen, George Eliot, the Brontés and Edith Wharton and her writings served as the (sometimes unacknowledged) basis for later discussions about these writers and their place in the literary canon.

Q. D. Leavis's criticism shared with that of her husband some basic principies such as the belief that moral and literary valúes go together in any great work. She differed, however, in her conviction that any approach (be it sociological, archetypal, biographical or formalist) was valuable as a tool to examine literary works. Her discussions can be mordant when she comes to analyse works or authors that remain indifferent to the persistent decline of culture in contemporary society. A good example of her personal style is the review she wrote for the book Three Guineas, entitled "Caterpillars of the Commonwealth Unite!" (A40), and the reaction it provoked in Virginia Woolf:

A violent attack on Three Guineas in Scrutiny by Q. Leavis. I don't think it gave me an entire single thrill of horror. And I didn't read it through. A symbol though of what wiggings are to come. But I read enough to see that it was all personal—about Queenie's own grievances and retorts to my snubs Oh Queenie was at once cancelled by a letter from Jane Walker—a thousand thanks.... (301)

There are several facts that explain the bitter tone we hear in many of her articles. We may find it impossible to believe today that a person so much devoted to the scholarly study of literature did not get a teaching position at the University of Cambridge, when she was so clearly qualified for it. In fact, at times the Leavises have been accused of being paranoid in their professional lives, but it is true that there were conscious attempts to discredit them in the academic world, as the excellent book by Garry Watson The Leavises, the "Social" and the Left (B39) shows. Together with this we must remember Q. D. Leavis's delicate health throughout her life, as well as her many responsibilities at home and several personal and family problems.

She finally achieved a long-due reputation as a scholar in the mid-sixties, when the Leavises travelled to the United States for a series of lectures at Harvard and Cornell. These lectures were later published in 1969 in a volume entitled Lectures in America (A82). The following year marked the highest point in their collaboration as critics, with the publication in the centenary of Charles Dickens's death oiDickens theNovelist (A87),

Q. D. Leavis: A Bibliography 215

a book to which William Walsh has significantly referred as "Mrs Leavis's book to which her husband has contributed, rather than the other way round" (Leavis 145). Q. D. Leavis began at this point a productive career as a public Iecturer, which would continué until months before her death. As the reader of the present bibliography may observe, many of the articles in the three-volume Collected Essays (A104-6) had not been previously published. The reason for this is that Q. D. Leavis was more interested in preparing new materials for her lectures than in publishing what she had already written. According to M. B. Kinch, shortly before her death she had a new book in mind, under the title Some NeglectedAspects ofNineteenth-CenturyFiction (Q. D. Leavis 5). She died while she was working on Solzhenitsyn and other twentieth-century Russian novelists —another sign of her very broad range of interests. In her writíngs we find references to topics that go from Ian Fleming's novéis to Frangois Truffaut's films.

0 . D. Leavis has not received the kind of critical attention she clearly deserves. The first scholar to pay attention to her work was Garry Watson in the book mentioned above, in which he studies the writings of both husband and wife as an intellectual team. Robert Boyers, in his brief but insightful F. R. Leavis: Judgment and the Discipline of Thought (B9), devotes excellent pages to Q. D. Leavis's article on Edith Wharton. Francis Mulhern's book The Moment o/Scrutiny (B26) presents her as one of the most prolific contributors to Scrutiny. The very first critic to undertake a critical study entirely devoted to her was William Walsh in a chapter of his book F. R. Leavis (B38) entitled "The principal collaborator," which perfectly summarizes her achievement:

The complexity of accomplished criticism is also the final impression left on us by Mrs Leavis's criticism, a criticism characterised by originality, lucidity, conviction and point, and a criticism which, perhaps under the huge wing of her husband's reputation, has not had its proper recognition. It belongs with the best of the period. (118)

In this book we find an accurate description of the fundamental principies of her criticism, although Walsh analyses the co-authored volume on Dickens in a sepárate chapter, as if concerned that he might otherwise take away from F. R. Leavis's reputation. The Leavises on Fiction: An Historie Partnership (B30), the book that pay s most attention to Q. D. Leavis, was published in 1981. Its author, P. J. M. Robertson, gives equal status to both writers and studies the two-way collaboration we can find in their writings. M. B. Kinch published in 1982 a brief volume under the title Q. D. Leavis 1906-1981: An Appreciation (B19), more a tribute to her figure by an author who openly admires her than a rigorous scholarly work. Finally, in 1983 Chris Baldick published some suggestive reflections on Fiction and the Reading Public in his book The Social Mission ofEnglish Criticism 1848-1932 (B3). Other scholars who have dealt with F. R. Leavis's criticism (Bilan, Greenwood, Wellek, Eagleton, McCallum, Bell, etc.) have either overlooked her work entirely or mentioned her in passing. Definitely, the final book on her is still to be written.

We find a similar situation concerning published bibliographies on her work. The first one we have found dates from 1972, and it includes only two of her books and the brief comment "Mrs Leavis was a frequent contributor to Scrutiny and has written a number of


introductions to novéis by Jane Austen and others" (Willison 1073). In 1979 William Baker publishes an article entitled "F. R. Leavis, 1965-1979, and Q. D. Leavis, 1922-1979: A Bibliography of Writings By and About Them" (C2), which contains a great number of errors. The title itself has one, since in fact the article includes two articles from 1921 but none from 1922. Also, an article on Joseph Conrad written by her husband is attributed to her. Kinch's volume includes a selected bibliography, which refers the reader to Baker's for further reading—and thus requires no more comments. Finally, the publication ofF. R. LeavisandQ. D. Leavis:AnAnnotatedBibliography (B20) by M. B. Kinch, Wiliam Baker and John Kimber is a significant step ahead. Most of the errors have disappeared but still Q. D. Leavis is overpowered by the figure of her husband. Except for the books and articles devoted exclusively to her, all the items dealing with her together with her husband are mentioned only in his section. This bibliography presents an additional problem: Although it was published in 1989, the most recent items included are from 1984, and therefore it does not incorpórate the final two volumes of her Collected Essays, in which we can find a great number of unpublished articles and some which are difficult to find in their original sources. The present bibliography runs up to 1992 and attempts to be more detailed, providing references to works from periods of her career which have not received attention in earlier publications. It also makes an effort at accuracy, correcting small errors and oversights in sources and pagination. Finally, in quoting Q. D. Leavis's books references are made to the first edition, with the following exceptions:

1. Fiction and the Reading Public. 1932. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1979. 2. Dickens the Novelist. 1970. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1980.
