Biographical / Historical

When the winner of the prize was announced, Q. D. Leavis asked if she could borrow the essay. Subsequently, Lionel was invited to tea with the Leavises to discuss it. Out of this conversation grew the friendship and broader discussions from which, in turn, the idea for Scrutiny emerged. [Information provided by Knights' son at the time of deposit].
