Carol Any
This is the first book-length study of Boris Eikhenbaum (1886-1959), a leading Russian Formalist and a pathbreaking Tolstoy scholar. The author traces Eikhenbaum's intellectual trajectory from his pre-Formalist "philosophical" criticism, through Formalism, to his later biographical criticism of Tolstoy and Lermontov. Illus.
