"This collection, based on the continuing influence of Prague School ideas, makes available in English essays that have contributed significantly not only to this circle but also to the international community of scholars. Among the distinguished authors included are Roman Jakobson, Jan Mukarovsky, Petr Bogatyrev, and Jiri Veltrusky. Reflecting a wide range of concerns, from a general consideration of semiotics and art to such specific forms as theater, poetry, folk song, cinema, and the fine arts, these articles demonstrate the diversity and scope of the Prague scholars' analyses. They also bring into focus the historical development of Prague Structuralism, especially its relation with Russian Formalism."
