Summary
This collection of the definitive essays by and about the Russian Formalists is crucial to understanding the major theoretical movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Investigating the conceptualization of structure and form within literature, the Formalists affected both the creation of art during this period and the development of literary theory as a scientific discipline.
