The Bakhtin Reader - Selected Writings of Bakhtin, Medvedev, Voloshinov

Incessantly cited by critics, Bakhtin''s work nonetheless remains relatively unavailable: partly through lack of suitable editions, partly because no individual text conveys all the key concepts or arguments. This anthology provides in a convenient format a good selection of the writing by Bakhtin and of that attributed to Voloshinov and Medvedev. It introduces readers to the aspects most relevant to literary and cultural studies and gives a focused sense of Bakhtin''s central ideas and the underlying cohesiveness of his thinking. Readers new to the Bakhtin ''school'' will find this book an invaluable introduction to a complex and scattered body of work. Those already familiar with some of the texts will find further material and fresh insights.>
