In this first book-length study of Czech structuralism and semiotics in English, F. W. Galan explores one of the most important intellectual currents of the twentieth century, filling the gap between what has been written of the Russian formalism of the twenties and the French structuralism of the sixties and seventies. He records the evolution within the Prague Linguistic Circle of those theories which concern literature's change in time and the place of literature in society. In doing so, he reveals how the work of the Prague Linguistic Circle in the years 1928 to 1946 vindicate structuralism against its critics' charges that the structuralist approach—in linguistics, literary theory, film studies, and related fields—is inherently unhistorical. Overcoming this apparent methodological impasse was the main challenge confronted by the scholars of the Prague School–Roman Jakobson and Jan Mukarovsky, in particular.

Se presenta una historia de la historia literaria de la Escuela de Praga y de su teoría estructural y semiótica. Son muchos los estudiosos que consideran que este libro hace por el estructuralismo checo lo que hicieran Victor Erlich y Yuri Tynianov por el formalismo ruso. Aun más: esta obra cierra la brecha entre el formalismo ruso y el estructuralismo francés de los sesenta y setenta.
