This edition includes a new introduction, concluding chapter and a fully updated bibliography. Holquist''s masterly study draws on all of Bakhtin''s known writings providing a comprehensive account of his achievement. Widely acknowledged as an exceptional guide to Bakhtin and dialogics, this book now includes a new introduction, concluding chapter and a fully updated bibliography. He argues that Bakhtin''s work gains coherence through his commitment to the concept of dialogue, examining Bakhtin''s dialogues with theorists such as Saussure, Freud, Marx and Lukacs, as well as other thinkers whose connection with Bakhtin has previously been ignored. Dialogism also includes dialogic readings of major literary texts, Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein, Gogol''s The Notes of a Madman and Fitzgerald''s The Great Gatsby, which provide another dimension of dialogue with dialogue. |
