Malcolm Jones, the author of an earlier, widely read book on
Dostoyevsky, here approaches his subject afresh in the light of
recent developments in Dostoyevsky studies and in critical theory.
He takes as his starting point the vexed question of Dostoyevsky's
'fantastic realism', which he attempts to redefine. Accepting
Bakhtin's reading of Dostoyevsky in its essentials, he seeks out
its weaknesses and develops it in new directions. Taking well-known
texts by Dostoyevsky in turn, Professor Jones illustrates aspects
of their multivoicedness. In Part 1, he concentrates on the
internal, emotional and intellectual, reversals of 'the
underground'. In Part 2, he focuses on the disruptive and
subversive aspects of the relationships between characters and
between text and reader. In Part 3 he examines textual
multivoicedness in its diachronic aspect, showing some of the ways
in which Dostoyevsky's texts echo and exploit the voices of
precursors.
