His essays on Russian literary classics, like Pushkin's <i>Eugene Onegin</i> and works by Dostoevsky and Gogol, as well as on the emerging art form of filmmaking, provide insight into the ways art and literature evolve and adapt new forms of expression. Although Tynianov was first a scholar of Russian literature, his ideas transcend the boundaries of any one genre or national tradition. <i>Permanent Evolution</i> gathers together for the first time Tynianov's seminal articles on literary theory and film, including several articles never before translated into English.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Yuri Tynianov</b> (1894-1943) was a Russian writer and literary theorist, and a central figure among the revolutionary-era scholars who came to be known as the Russian Formalists. <br></p><p><b>Ainsley Morse</b> is a literary translator and an assistant professor in the Russian Department at Dartmouth College.
