Mikhail Bakhtin: Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics & Selected Works
This collection brings together the seminal works of Mikhail Bakhtin (1895–1975), the Russian philosopher and literary theorist whose influence extends across literary criticism, linguistics, and cultural studies. Central to the volume is Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics, first published in 1929 as Problems of Dostoevsky’s Art and revised in 1963. This study introduced Bakhtin’s groundbreaking concept of the polyphonic novel, arguing that Dostoevsky’s characters exist as independent voices rather than mere authorial mouthpieces—a theory that sparked intense debate upon release and remains foundational.
The edition also includes key works: the philosophical essay Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity; the classic The Problem of Speech Genres; Epic and Novel (on methodology for novel research); and The Problem of the Text, which Bakhtin described as “an experiment in philosophical analysis of the text in linguistics, philology, and other humanities.” Additionally, articles and draft notes on Leo Tolstoy are featured.
For fans of literary theory, Dostoevsky, or Russian thought, this volume offers an essential window into Bakhtin’s enduring legacy. Price: 1474.00 RUR.
