Russian Formalist Criticism by Lee T. Lemon
Four Essays
This seminal work delves into the foundational principles of Russian Formalism, a critical movement that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing the intrinsic features of literary texts over extrinsic influences such as authorial intent or historical context. It explores key concepts like "defamiliarization," which challenges readers to perceive familiar objects in new ways, and "literariness," which distinguishes literary language from ordinary language. The book compiles pivotal essays and analyses from leading figures in the movement, offering insights into their methodologies and the enduring impact of their theories on modern literary criticism.
