A Bibliography of Russian Formalism in English

This enumerative bibliography consists of three parts. Part 1 lists English


translations of Russian Formalist writings (chiefly from 1916 to 1930), while
Part 2 lists writings available in English about the Formalist movement and
its significance for later literary scholarship. Part 3 is an Afterword that dis-
cusses the limits, and limitations, of the bibliography.

1. Formalist Writings in English Translation

The anthologies in Section A below are the main sources in Englis


Formalist writing, while Section B lists specific works by individual For
The entries in B are grouped alphabetically by the scholars' names, an
each name, chronologically by work. When citing the anthologies list
the entries in B use unproblematically abbreviated forms, except for t
issues of Russian Poetics in Translation dealing with Formalism, w
abbreviations used are noted at the end of the relevant entries in A. There are
also several collections of writings solely by Roman Jakobson, which are listed
at the beginning of his B entry, with their abbreviations. Where bibliographies
on individual figures are available, they are listed at the end of their B entries.
Where translations are from a language other than Russian, the original lan-
guage is identified in brackets.

3. Afterword

(Note: In order to avoid repetition, works cited below with a [1] or a


are listed in Parts 1 or 2 of this bibliography.)
In assembling this list, I have limited myself primarily to works by
about the literary scholars, folklorists, and linguists frequently identifie
Russian Formalists. The term remains a very loose one at best, since w
many of the figures covered here did interact closely at various times betw
1914 and 1930, in Moscow or St. Petersburg/Leningrad, others, like Vladi
Propp and Nikolai Trubetskoy, stood in only a rather general relation to
central figures as Boris Eikhenbaum, Viktor Shklovsky, or Yury Tynyan
and the writings of still others, like V. V. Vinogradov and Viktor Zhirmun
though published in the heyday of Formalist activity, do not necessarily
stitute pure examples of the critical style. The nature of the topic of this
liography-a critical movement- renders these kinds of arbitrariness inevit
no doubt, particularly since I have aimed at inclusiveness. Another so
arbitrariness manifested in my selection arises from a historical fact, na
that of the strong affinities and partial chronological overlap between Rus
Formalism and Czech Structuralism, which flourished between 1926 and 1
Anthologies such as those edited by Matějka and Titunik, or by Steiner, a
books such as those of Galan [2] and Streidter [2], help to emphasize

continuities which my listing has tended to dissever- a particular prob


the case of Roman Jakobson, as will be discussed further below.
The tremendous growth of interest in recent years in the work of
Bakhtin and his circle has led some to associate their ideas with those of the
Formalists, with whom they did have some contact. Nevertheless, I have not
seen fit to include writings by or about the Bakhtin group, and this not simply
because it would have hugely enlarged this bibliography (especially Part 2),
but more importantly because I do not see much intellectual affinity between
the two groups. (I have, of course, made an exception for the explicit critique
of Formalism written by R N. Medvedev [2], possibly in collaboration with
Bakhtin.)
Though political circumstances forced a shutdown of Formalist activity
as such by 1 930 at the latest, many of the leading figures survived and continued
to produce both literary scholarship and other kinds of writing, some of con-
siderable scope and significance. The chronological limitations that I have set,
however, have led me to exclude such major 'post-formalist' works available
in English as the later volumes of Eikhenbaum's study of Tolstoy (1931, 1960),
Shklovsky's books on Mayakovsky (1940) and Tolstoy (1974), and further
studies by Propp (see "Oedipus" and "Generic Structures," as well as the
material collected in Theory and History of Folkore [1]). Except for English
versions of some post-Stalinist writings by Shklovsky, I have found only a few
essays by O. M. Brik dating from after 1930 that deal with literature, film, or
criticism, although some of Tynyanov's fiction has been translated (and see
also Hel on Tynyanov's writing for film, some of which involved adaptations
of his fiction).
Jakobson's work has presented a special problem. First, although he had
emigrated from Russia as early as 1920, he continued to produce recognizably
Formalist work (some of it in Russian) for more than a decade afterward:
therefore I have included most of his translated works of the 1920s in Part 1.
A second difficulty was to find a cut-off point for this material. I decided to
end with his 1935 lecture on "The Dominant," because this is certainly a
touchstone of Formalist theory. However, I have omitted some of pre- 1935
writings that seemed not to bear on literary topics: an especially troublesome
omission has been that of the celebrated 1929 Theses presented by the Prague
Linguistic Circle, to which Jakobson was a major contributor (Rudy, in his
bibliography of Jakobson (11-12), indicates that he was the main author of
Theses 1, 2a, and 3a, and a coauthor of 5, 6, and 9). Moreover I have also
omitted some potentially relevant later works of Jakobson's, most notably a
group of writings on Pushkin dating from 1936 to 1938 (though this material
is conveniently available in English in Pushkin and His Sculptural Myth). In
fact- a further problem- many of Jakobson's much later writings might well
have been included, such as his celebrated essays "Linguistics and Poetics"
and "The Poetry of Grammar," which arguably constitute a summa of For-
