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. Dialogismalso includes dialogic readings of major literary texts, Mary Shelley'sFrankenstein, Gogol'sThe Notes of a Madmanand Fitzgerald'sThe Great Gatsby, which provide another dimension of dialogue with dialogue. | Dialogism by Michael Holquist, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
