It appears that literary work possesses eternal temporal validity due to its autonomous aesthetic value, whereas criticism provides points of view having temporary and transitory significance. Despite such claims, the vector of methodology in our series of books, dealing with the history of English literature, relies on Viktor Shklovsky, T. S. Eliot, Mikhail Bakhtin, and especially Yuri Tynyanov, whose main reasoning would be that literature is a system of dominant, central and peripheral, marginalized elements - to us, tradition (centre) versus innovation (margin) engaged in a battle for supremacy, demarginalization, and the right to form a new literary system - and the development or historical advancement of literature is the substitution of systems. Roman Jakobson and French structuralism, on the whole, later Linda Hutcheon, with her system and constant, and Bran Nicol with the dominant, to say nothing about Itamar Even-Zohar and his theory of polysystem, to a certain extent Julia Kristeva, and even Homi Bhabha - as well as our humble contribution, by means of the books in the present series, we would like to believe - maintain Tynyanov's line of thinking and concepts alive, which have developed and emerged nowadays more like a kind of neo-formalism.
