Reader-Response Criticism: From Formalism to Post-Structuralism

Literature and Cinematography (Dalkey Archive Scholarly)
In this short, brilliant book, Viktor Shklovsky enunciates the function of the arts: what they are and, just as importantly, what they are not. In the course of defining what art is, by implication he also quietly lays to waste the theories and people who view art as a means of representing "the real world" and a method of communication. His views of the other arts then lead him into his speculations about the art of cinema photography, new at the time that Shklovsky composed his polemic in 1923..

Readings in Russian Poetics: Formalist and Structuralist Views (Russian Literature (Dalkey Archive))
This collection of essays by and about the major Russian theorists includes Boris M. Èjxenbaum's "The Theory of the Formal Method," Viktor Sklovskij's "The Mystery Novel: Dickens's Little Dorrit," Roman Jakobson's "On Realism in Art," Mixail Baxtin's "Discourse Typology in Prose," and Osip M.

A new introduction by Gerald L. Bruns provides a context for understanding why these works remain as important and influential now as when they were first written..

Quantum Mechanics: Principles and Formalism (Physics)
Concerned strictly with the principles and formalism of quantum mechanics, this graduate student-oriented volume develops the subject as a fundamental discipline. Opening chapters review the origins of Schrödinger's equations and the nature of the solutions in certain simple and well-known cases, advancing to the ideas associated with vector spaces. Having provided students with the appropriate mathematical language, the author proceeds to the formulation of the main principles of quantum mechanics and their immediate consequences. The book concludes with final generalizations in which alternative "languages" or representations are discussed (each with reference to its specific advantages and applications), and the Dirac transformation theory is developed and explained. 1972 ed. 15 Figures.

Formalism, Experience, and the Making of American Literature in the Nineteenth Century (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture)
Theo Davis offers a new account of the emergence of a national literature in the United States. Taking American literature's universalism as an organizing force that must be explained rather than simply exposed, she contends that Emerson, Hawthorne, and Stowe's often noted investigations of experience are actually based in a belief that experience is an abstract category governed by typicality, not the property of the individual subject. Additionally, these authors locate the form of the literary work in the domain of abstract experience, projected out of - not embodied in - the text. After tracing the emergence of these beliefs out of Scottish common sense philosophy and through early American literary criticism, Davis analyzes how American authors' prose seeks to work an art of abstract experience. In so doing, she reconsiders the place of form in literary studies today..
