Abstract
This paper focuses on the literary and cultural criticism of F.R. Leavis and the Scrutiny group he represents. Scrutiny (1932-1953) was an academic journal started and run by the Leavises in the 20th century, which not only profoundly influenced the 20th-century cultural life of Britain, but also drew attention of the Chinese literary community, especially in the first decade of the 21st century. But it is obvious that most scholars tend to generalize the academic contributions of Leavis and Scrutiny Group as "Leavisian theory", "Leavisian group", "Leavisianism", or simply "Leavis", by taking him as "a lone hero", disregarding the important role of "the critical community" of the Scrutiny Group. So it is necessary to make a retrospective study of the journal to represent the academic contributions of Leavis and the Scrutiny group.
