Mikhail Bakhtin was one of the twentieth century's most influential
literary theorists. This accessible introduction to his thought
begins with the questions 'Why Bakhtin?' and 'Who was Bakhtin?',
before dealing in detail with his ideas on authorship and
subjecthood, language, dialogism, heteroglossia and the novel, the
chronotope, and the carnivalesque. True to their dialogic spirit,
these ideas are presented not as a fixed body of knowledge, but
rather as living and evolving entities, as ways of approaching not
only the most persistent questions of language and literature, but
also issues that are relevant across the full range of Humanities
disciplines. Bakhtin emerges in the process as a key thinker for
the Humanities in the twenty-first century.
