{wiki=Formalism_(literature)}
Formalism is a critical approach in literature that emphasizes the form of a literary work over its content or context. This school of thought focuses on the technical aspects of a text, such as its structure, style, language, and literary devices. By analyzing these elements, formalists seek to understand how they contribute to the overall meaning and effect of the work.
