Formalism is an approach to literary criticism that focuses on the text itself, analyzing its structure, style, language, and form. This approach emphasizes the internal features of the text rather than its historical, cultural, or biographical context.
Formalism is a literary theory that emphasizes the formal aspects of a literary text and believes that the meaning and value of a work of literature are derived solely from its formal qualities. Formalists focus on the language, structure, and style of a text, analyzing how these elements contribute to the work's aesthetic qualities and meaning.
