Abstract
F.R. Leavis’s notorious critique of C.P. Snow on ‘The Two Cultures’ was thought at the time to be unforgiveable – too aggressive, too personal, too Leavis. But Leavis’s lecture can also be seen as exemplifying a recurring dilemma of cultural criticism: how to get a hearing for views that challenge some of society’s most-deeply-held yet unexamined convictions. Professor Stefan Collini questions if such offensiveness is not just unavoidable but also legitimate.
