Crucial to the understanding of this theoretical movement, this collection of essays by and about the Russian Formalists features work by: - Boris M. Eichenbaum ("The Theory of the Formal Method") - Viktor Shklvosky ("The Mystery Novel: Dickens's Little Dorrit") - Roman Jakobson ("On Realism in Art") - Mikhail Bakhtin ("Discourse Typology in Prose") - Osip M. Brik ("Contributions to the Study of Verse Language") A new introduction by Gerald L. Bruns provides a context for understanding why these works remain as important and influential now as when they were first written.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>"A valuable contribution to the understanding of an exceptionally influential critical movement."--Prairie Schooner<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><P>Ladislav Matejka is the editor of the all ten books in the annual Cross Currents series, a yearbook of Central European culture, as well as the collection of essays entitled Semiotics in Art.
