Brief introduction of great tradition

This book begins with "a few upright people" in the history of English novels, and combs and expounds the greatness of British novel biographies in order to "awaken a correct and appropriate sense of difference". The so-called novelists "refer to those important novelists who are comparable to poets-they have not only changed their artistic potential for their peers and readers, but also enhanced human consciousness-and their awareness of life potential is of great significance." In other words, they are not only creative geniuses in form, technology and skill, but also pay serious attention to moral relations and human consciousness. Leavis's novels are: Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, Joseph Conrad and D.H. Lawrence; George meredith, Hardy and other famous figures are considered to be "under the fame, it is really difficult to be a deputy"; As for Dickens, on the one hand, the author admits his greatness, on the other hand, he says that "the mature head lies in Dickens, and nothing needs people to maintain an unusual seriousness for a long time", so he only analyzes his difficult years in the last chapter.
