In this book, which was first published in 1983, Frank Kermode
looks in particular at the revived Russian Formalism, a highly
original body of literary theory that flourished in the years
immediately following the Revolution, and at the work of Roman
Jakobson, one of its most distinguished exponents. He discusses its
modern 'structuralist' descendants, recalling the importance of
Roland Barthes and the invigorating effect of his fertile and
surprising mind. He considers also the work of Foucault, Laca and
Levi-Strauss, as well as that of Jacques Derrida, which uses a
novel and de(con)structive method of analysis to question to tacit
assumptions on which structuralism is based. In an opening chapter,
Professor Kermode surveys his relationship with the new theory,
explaining that it is a relation from which he has benefited
without ever feeling disposed to join a movement. These essays will
be of interest to students of literature.
