F. R. Leavis's interest in D. H. Lawrence is at the center of his literary criticism. After the pamphlet D. H. Lawrence Leavis dealt with Lawrence mainly in reviews until twenty years later when he published D. H. Lawrence: Novelist in 1955. Even in those early years Leavis recognized and praised the religious aspect of Lawrence's works. This thesis aims to discuss and examine the development in Leavis's response to Lawrence and the nature of his early religious concern. Leavis's ultimate concern is with the place of a religious sense in life and literature. The term “religious” first appears in “reminiscences of D. H. Lawrence” Here the qualities of life―wholeness, spontaneity, naturalness―that Leavis claims Lawrence sought are recurring terms in Leavis's attempt to define his use of the word “religious”. With the publication of A. Huxley's edition of The Letters of D. H. Lawrence Leavis now perceived a religious concern embodied in Lawrence's work as well as in his life. Leavis refers to a religious sense that leaves his criticism much ore open then the later Eliot can be. And In Revaluation Leavis makes use of the term “religious” only in connection with Wordsworth. Leavis wrote the review of The Letters of D. H. Lawrence in the Listener in October, 1932, in which he associated Lawrence with the religious nature of his concerns. He gained at least three things from reading The Letters; they are deeper insight into the religious sense Lawrence represents, new awareness of Lawrence's abilities as a literary critic, and greater understanding of Lawrence the man. Leavis's review of The Letters established some of the main lines that his later defense of Lawrence would take. An article by Leavis entitled “Restatements For Critics” carried on the argument about the proper approach to Lawrence. What Leavis was concerned about was the total failure of Eliot and The Criterion to recognize Lawrence's greatness. The number of essays and reviews Leavis wrote on Lawrence between 1930 and 1933 shows how deeply he was involved with Lawrence at the very beginning of his critical career.
