Russian Formalist Criticism<http://bit.ly/UwtKi1>
Four Essays, Second Edition

Translated and with an introduction by Lee T. Lemon, Marion J. Reis & Gary Saul Morson

"Some of the most important literary theory of this century." College English


The Russian formalists emerged from the Russian Revolution with ideas about the independence of literature. They enjoyed that independence until Stalin shut them down. By then, however, they had produced essays that remain among the best defences ever written for both literature and its theory. Included here are four essays representing key points in the formalists' short history. Victor Shklovsky's pioneering Art as Technique (1917) defines the literary as a way to make us see familiar things as if for the first time. His 1921 essay on Tristram Shandy makes that eccentric novel the centrepiece for a theory of narrative. A section from Boris Tomashevsky's Thematics  (1925) inventories the elements of stories. In The Theory of the Formal Method (1927), Boris Eichenbaum defends Russian Formalism against various attacks. These essays set a course for literary studies that led to Prague structuralism, French semiotics, and postmodern poetics.

Russian Formalist Criticism has been honoured as a Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year by the American Library Association.
