Description

Frank Kermode's Essays on Fiction 1971-82, originally published in 1983 and now part of Routledge Revivals, offers a comprehensive exploration of twentieth-century literary theory and criticism. This volume examines Russian Formalism, a revolutionary body of literary thought that emerged following the Russian Revolution, and traces its influence through the work of Roman Jakobson and beyond. Kermode analyses structuralist developments championed by Roland Barthes, whose imaginative contributions shaped modern critical thinking, whilst also engaging with the theoretical frameworks of Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Jacques Derrida. The collection spans crucial developments in literary criticism, from formalist foundations through to deconstructive approaches, making it an essential reference for students and scholars of literary theory, aesthetics, and the history of literary criticism.
