Scrutiny (journal)
''Scrutiny: A Quarterly Review'' was a literature periodical founded in 1932 by L. C. Knights and F. R. Leavis, who remained its principal editor until the final issue in 1953. Other editors include Lionel Charles Knights and Harold Andrew Mason.〔
An additional volume, number 20, is often included in this series, including "A Retrospect" by Leavis, indexes, and errata.
==Background==
Literary critic and historian Boris Ford has stated that it was L. C. Knights "who had the idea of creating such a literary quarterly, and took steps to bring it into being on 15 May 1932 - Knights's 26th birthday. Knights was the only one of Scrutiny's editors who served in that role for every one of its 76 issues."〔''The Independent'', 15 March 1997.〕 The first issue appeared early in May 1932, with 100 copies sold in the first week, with subscribers including T.S. Eliot, George Santayana, R. H. Tawney and Aldous Huxley. The circulation rose slowly, with 750 copies being printed later in the 1930s, and 1000 copies in the 1940s. At its height in the 1950s, ''Scrutiny'' only printed 1,500 copies, but most of these were held by colleges and academic libraries for circulation. As such, ''Scrutiny'' was widely read, and Leavis became very influential in 20th century literary criticism in part because he was editor of the journal.
After writing many articles for the journal, music critic Wilfrid Mellers appeared on the editorial board of the January 1942 issue, and continued in that position until the December 1948 issue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author = Gordon Rumson )〕 Besides its editorial staff, ''Scrutiny'' was able to have a contributing body of many important literary critics, including: Q.D. Leavis, Marlus Bewley, William Empson, L.C. Knights, Michael Oakeshott, Herbert Read, I. A. Richards, George Santayana, Derek Traversi, and Martin Turnell. Some of the contributors to ''Scrutiny'' were also contributors to ''Left Review''. Many contributors focused on the topics of education and politics, but, according to Richard Poirier, "its most important achievement was a nearly complete revaluation of English literature".〔 That is not to say that they always supported these critics; according to John Grant, ''Scrutiny'' denounced "the later work of Empson and Richards" and disregarded "critics in the colonies such as Blackmur, Burke, and Frye".
