Front and back covers somewhat creased. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; Russian Studies; 21.5 x 13.8 x 0.9 cms; 127 pages; This classic theoretical text by one of the greatest Russian poets of the twentieth century combines polemical writing with 'socio-formalism' (a fusion of Russian formalist theory, constructivism and cultural sociology) . In addition to representing Mayakovsky's attempt to formulate a socialist aesthetic, it is also of great interest as a lively primer in poetics and as a manifesto of avant garde art. The inclusion in this volume of 'A cloud in trousers' and 'To Sergey Esenin' allows the reader to analyse two of the poet's finest early poems in the light of the theory.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
