Opis: Polish Formalist School - Andrzej Karcz, A Karcz

This study looks closely at the changes taking place in Polish literary scholarship at the turn of the century, and focuses on the work of the founder of Polish Formalism, Kazimierz Woycicki and the other main theoreticians and practitioners of this School. While presenting a comparative and contrasting approach to Polish and Russian Formalism, the study concentrates on how the ideas of the Russian Formalists were accepted and applied by the Polish School, which modified and transcended them. Special attention is paid to Woycicki's original definition of the subject of literary study. The two schools of literary criticism, while dealing with the same problems of analysis, did not always propose similar solutions. By modifying the ideas of Russian Formalism, the Polish Formalist School of the 1930s modernized Polish literary scholarship in a fundamental way. Andrzej Karcz is Assistant Professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the University of Kansas. Overall, this study will be helpful to those who are interested in the evolution of twentieth-century Polish literary criticism, particularly in the development of Woycicki and Kridl. --SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN REVIEW, Volume 87 No 1 (Andrea Hacker)Anticipations of Polish Formalism; Kazimierz Woycicki - the foundation of Polish Formalism; Manfred Kridl - the integration of Polish Formalism; the Polish School of Formalism - history, theory and practice.
