A distinguished literary critic explores the linguistic background of structuralism, its historical connections to romanticism and Russian formalism, and the theory and practice of the leading contemporary structuralist literary critics. "Beautifully lucid, and at the same time intelligently critical. . . .Perhaps the most valuable general work on the subject available." -- Times Higher Education Supplement
