Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics (Volume 8) (Theory and History of Literature)
- Used Book in Good Condition
This book is not only a major twentieth-century contribution to Dostoevskyâ€™s studies, but also one of the most important theories of the novel produced in our century. As a modern reinterpretation of poetics, it bears comparison with Aristotle.â€œBakhtinâ€™s statement on the dialogical nature of artistic creation, and his differentiation of this from a history of monological commentary, is profoundly original and illuminating. This is a classic work on Dostoevsky and a statement of importance to critical theory.â€ Edward Wasiolekâ€œConcentrating on the particular features of â€˜Dostoevskian discourse,â€™ how Dostoevsky structures a hero and a plot, and what it means to write dialogically, Bakhtin concludes with a major theoretical statement on dialogue as a category of language. One of the most important theories of the novel in this century.â€ The Bloomsbury Review
