Description
Mikhail Bakhtin was one of the twentieth century's most influential literary theorists. This accessible introduction to his thought explores key concepts such as authorship and subjecthood, language, dialogism, heteroglossia, and the novel. Bakhtin's ideas are presented not as a fixed body of knowledge, but rather as living and evolving entities, offering ways of approaching fundamental questions in language and literature. His work remains relevant across various Humanities disciplines, making him an important thinker for the twenty-first century. By examining Bakhtin's thought, readers can gain insight into his perspectives on the novel, chronotope, and carnivalesque, among other topics. This book provides a valuable introduction to his influential ideas, ideal for those seeking to understand his contributions to literary theory.
