Interest in Russian formalists continues to grow. The literary theories put forward by this group have lost none of their power to stimulate the critical imagination. Because of formalism's vital connections to structuralism and because of its historical parallels with such movements as Anglo-American new criticism, The Formal Method in Literary Scholarship will appeal to a wide audience. M. M. Bakhtin and P. N. Medvedev combine a detailed critique of formalist theory with an introduction to sociological poetics which lays the groundwork for a Marxist semiotics of literature. In his introduction, Albert J. Wehrle relates the book to the other works produced by the Bakhtin circle and discusses the authorship controversy in textual, biographical, and historical contexts. The translation is annotated, and references to formalist texts are correlated with French and German translations. (From the publisher) "The Formal Method in Literary Scholarship directs its critique against the 'good opponent,' formalism, rather than the 'poor ally,' Marxist literary and social criticism, but its goal is to undermine the opposition limiting each and to force the two approaches to confront each other in some other form than that of simple, 'abstract' opposition." [David Carroll, Diacritics] "First published in 1928 under the name of P. N. Medvedev, it has of late been attributed to no less a figure than the distinguished literary scholar and theorist M. M. Bakhtin. This alleged dual authorship may account for the incisiveness and philosophical sophistication of The Formal Method."
