When C.P. Snow delivered his 1959 Rede Lecture on The Two Cultures what was he doing? Acutely diagnosing a debilitating anti-scientific strain in contemporary Britain? Or bombastically trotting out self-serving clichés to an uncritical public?

We met up with renowned Cambridge literary critic and intellectual historian Stefan Collini to reexamine the celebrated battle between F.R. Leavis and C.P. Snow within the larger context of the value of public dialogue and the role of the modern university.
