Reviews

A fascinating comparison of two figures, both hugely influential in their separate worlds. Fitzpatrick makes us feel at home in both, and his lucid and sympathetic presentations of Leavis's and Lonergan's fundamental ideas brings them surprisingly close together.--William Charlton It is a rare pleasure to find a book in which literary and philosophical themes are treated with equal competence and lucidity. Joseph Fitzpatrick's study of F.R. Leavis and Bernard Lonergan sheds new light on both and on some important issues in modern culture.--Colin F. Wood, principal lecturer in English, Leeds Trinity University The Benedictine monk, Dom Sebastian Moore, who knew both Leavis and Lonergan, felt his life twice brushed by genius. Joseph Fitzpatrick identifies a commonality of vision, and an enduring potency, in these two influential thinkers.--Michael Bell, professor emeritus in English and Comparative Literary Studies, University of Warwick
