Semester : Third Semester
Editor : Sanchita Khurana And Saswata Bhattacharya
The long-standing debate between formalist and contextual analyses of literature and other works of art dovetails the wide range of critical endeavours to establish the role and methods of modern literary criticism. This debate offers an important lens to interpret and interrogate the nature of literary meaning and the function of art in society. Viewing the history of Western literary criticism as a dialectical struggle between formalism and socio-historical analysis, Form and Context: Modern Aesthetics and Literary Criticism takes the reader through the development of formalist approaches to art and literature between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as the critical approaches that emerged in response to formalism, placing each of these within their socio-historical context. Apart from annotated and prefaced essays by Hume, Burke, Woolf, Eliot, Richards and Brooks, this volume carries additional essays by Kant, Hegel, Arnold, Wilde, Wimsatt and Beardsley, Lukacs, and Barrell to help the reader develop a deeper understanding and critique of the concepts and ideas presented.
