Book condition : as new. - Investigating the conceptualisation of structure and form within literature, the Russian Formalists affected both the creation of art during the 1920s and 1930s and the development of literary theory as a scientific discipline. 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. ISBN 9781564783240.
