  • Abstract in English: It has now been more than half a century since F. R. Leavis averred the pre-eminence of George Eliot, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad in thematizing what the scholar termed “the human awareness . . . of the possibilities of life” (2). In fact, Leavis assigns to the three writers a distinctive creative genius, which allows their fictions to be received as rather unique masterpieces in their representations of the modern consciousness (13–23). With the “modern ‘sense of the human situation’” (Leavis 23) recognized as the common denominator within their works, the question of the writers’ divergent national sympathies may be dismissed as irrelevant, if somewhat puzzling to the reading public: paradoxically, the core of the British “great [literary] tradition” is to be found within the works of a British female novelist, 1 a New Englander, 2 and a Pole with Russian citizenship, 3 naturalized as a British subject in 1886. None of them seems “traditional,” in terms of either fact or fiction.
