The Formalist was created in 1990.

The Formalist ended in 2004.

A Formalist Approach is an approach that focuses the ambiguous and multi-layered nature of language. It proves that the interpretation of the story depends on the Independent reader themselves, and how they interperet the language; the opposite of a reader response critic!

Formalist criticism of "Truce in the Forest" would focus on the literary elements such as symbolism, style, structure, and language. It would look at how these elements work together to create meaning and contribute to the overall theme of the story, rather than considering external factors like historical context or author's biographical information.
