This is a new interpretation of Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers
Karamazov that scrutinizes it as a performative event (the
“polyphony” of the novel) revealing its religious,
philosophical, and social meanings through the interplay of
mentalités or worldviews that constitute an aesthetic whole. This
way of discerning the novel’s social vision of sobornost’ (a
unity between harmony and freedom), its vision of hope, and its
more subtle sacramental presuppositions, raises Tilley’s
interpretation beyond the standard “theology and literature”
treatments of the novel and interpretations that treat the novel as
providing solutions to philosophical problems. Tilley develops
Bakhtin’s thoughtful analysis of the polyphony of the novel using
communication theory and readers/hearer response criticism, and by
using Bakhtin's operatic image of polyphony to show the error of
taking "faith vs. reason", argues that at the end of the novel, the
characters learned to carry on, in a quiet shared commitment to
memory and hope.
