Semiotics Semiotic literarycriticism , also called literary semiotics , is the approach to literarycriticism informed by the theory of signs or semiotics . Semiotics, tied closely to the structuralism pioneered by Ferdinand de Saussure , was extremely influential in the development of literary theory out of the formalist approaches of the early twentieth century. The early forms of literary semiotics grew out of formalist approaches to literature, especially Russian formalism , and structuralist linguistics, especially the Prague linguistic circle Prague school . Notable early semiotic authors included Vladimir Propp , Algirdas Julius Greimas , and Viktor Shklovsky . These critics were concerned with a formal analysis of narrative forms which would resemble a literary mathematics, or at least a literary syntax , as far as possible. They proposed various formal notations for narrative components and transformations and attempted a descriptive taxonomy of existing stories along these lines. Propp s Morphology of the Folktale orig. Russian pub. 1928 English trans. 1958 provides an example of the formal and systematic approach. In successive chapters, Propp analyzes the characters, plot events, and other elements of traditional folktales primarily from Russia and Eastern Europe . For each ..., semiotic literarycriticism became more playful and less systematic in its ambitions. Still, some authors harbor more scientific ambition for their literary schemata than others.

S. Lewis in which he proposes that the quality of books should be measured not by how they are written, but by how they are read. To do this, the author describes two kinds of readers. One is what he calls the unliterary , and the other the literary . He proceeds to outline some of the differences between these two types of readers. For example, one characterization of an unliterary reader is that the argument I ve read it before is a conclusive reason not to read a book. In contrast, literary readers reread books many times, savoring certain passages, and attempting to glean more from subsequent readings. Lewis also argued that judging books by whether they are lowbrow or highbrow is not necessarily fruitful many lowbrow books prove to be valuable to a literary reader willing to approach without prejudgment. He noted that books classified as lowbrow , such as science fiction, are also capable of inducing a passion to re read and imparting experience which changes reader s worldview. Lewis suggests that books which are capable of doing this may prove to have enduring merit regardless of their genre of origin. He suggested that attempting to judge the literary merit of books based on traditional criteria may not prove fruitful. Thus, Lewis suggests that a quality book is one that someone, anyone will re read. A highbrow ... more details
