About this book

The Prison-House of Language: A Critical Account of Structuralism and Russian Formalism (Princeton Essays in Literature) by Jameson, Fredric. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780691062266.

Fredric Jamesons survey of Structuralism and Russian Formalism is, at the same time, a critique of their basic methodology. He lays bare the presuppositions of the two movements, clarifying the relationship between the synchronic methods of Saussurean linguistics and the realities of time and history.
