It examines the movement's key figures, central concepts, and lasting impact on the study of literature and culture. The book analyses the Formalists' emphasis on the autonomy of literature, their focus on form and technique, and their contributions to structuralist and post-structuralist thought. It also considers the historical context in which Russian Formalism emerged and its relationship to other intellectual currents of the time.
