- W100331617 abstract "Q. D. Leavis begins her essay How We Must Read Great by asserting that must been very much easier to read Great Expectations adequately?that is, with a sympathetic and intelligent comprehension of the spirit in which it was written and of what it was actually about?in Dickens ' s own day, or in any time up to the present, than it evidently is now [1970]. Leavis continues with a deprecation of her contemporary critics and general readers, who presumably have no real knowledge of the constitution and actuality of society.1 The corrective Leavis provides for Great Expectations begins with a quotation from Lord Brain, who in a 1960 lecture to a medical association extolled what Leavis terms Dickens's intuitive apprehension of the relation between the inner and the outer life [and]... questioning] to the why of human conduct. What seems curious is that Leavis later asserts the value of this novel over other works because of its greater relevance outside its own age.2 Is not a part of that relevance determined by the response of late twentieth century readers, who understand the novel differently than contemporaries? Since Leavis published her essay, a host of scholars-especially those whose work has been informed by Marxism, feminism, and psychoanalysis?have given us new insights into texts and the ways we readers make sense of them. Much of this recent work challenges claims for the superiority of readings contemporary to a work by asserting the openness of the text to new interpretations. While Leavis's reading of Great Expectations illuminates many of its fine qualities, particularly those which require psychological interpretation, her argument that later readers are impaired suggests a stagnant location of the text in a precise time and place and a privileging of its contemporary readership that similarly ignores the dynamic nature of texts. Moreover, Leavis's thesis fails to take into account a central concern of novels, articulated succinctly by William Myers in his discussion of Little Dorrit: as a work of art, [the novel must] be" @default.
