Opis

In this study, Bradford reasserts the value of Roman Jakobson's work, arguing that he has a great deal to offer contemporary critical theory and providing a critical appraisal for the sweep of Jakobson's career. Bradford re-establishes Jakobson's work as vital to our understanding of the relationship between language and poetry. By exploring Jakobson's thesis that poetry is the primary object of language, new reading of his work is offered which includes the most radical elements of modernism. This book is aimed at students of Jakobson, and those interested in the development of critical theory, linguistics and stylistics.
