Make no mistake, Diana Trilling was a pretty tough bird. But then so was Leavis's wife Queenie. Those were more sinewy times in criticism.
@JamesWolcott Queenie Leavis wrote a very snarly note about Podhoretz when Making It came out. Worth looking up.

@HeerJeet Where did it appear? My books are all boxed up in NY until I return in January or so. -
@JamesWolcott It was a letter in The Spectator Sept. 6, 1968. I'll email it to you. Leavis tried to disavow any connection to Podhoretz.
