In the first decades of the 20th century, the Russian Formalist critics discovered skaz as a narrative technique which, in periods of stylistic calcification, helps to renew literary language by bringing into it alien linguistic material, "other's" discourse, often oral speech. The first part of this study describes the importance of skaz as a literary topic to the Formalists, as well as their understanding of its dynamics. We summarize the primary characteristics of skaz narration: an impression of oral narration created by an embodied storyteller, who employs unusual, often colloquial language, and conveys a "here and now" setting; often the use of a story-within-a-story structure, enclosing the skaz narration within a stylistically "normal" frame; a casually constructed plot containing many digressions; and the presence of more than one plane of understanding, so that the reader is in some way distanced from the ostensible implications or conclusions of the story. A chapter reviewing examples of skaz in Russian literature, together with a brief discussion of close narrative "relatives," suggests the technique's complexity and variety. The second part of the dissertation uses conclusions developed in the first part of the study to analyze skaz texts from Gogol, Dostoevsky, Leskov, and Zoshchenko in Russian literature. In literary criticism in the English language, perhaps the closest concept to the Russian skaz narrator is "unreliable dramatized narrator"; in order to consider skaz principles transposed to a language and literature other than Russian, the study also examines Doyle's The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard in English literature, and texts from J. C. Harris, Twain, Lardner, Salinger, and Welty in American literature.
