It\u003cbr\u003e introduces readers to the aspects most relevant to literary and \u003cbr\u003ecultural studies and gives a focused sense of Bakhtin's central ideas \u003cbr\u003eand the underlying cohesiveness of his thinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn \u003cbr\u003eintroductory essay considers the problems of establishing exact \u003cbr\u003eauthorship within the Bakhtin 'school', and then examines the key ideas \u003cbr\u003eand issues Bakhtin pursued throughout his work, with an account of their\u003cbr\u003e development and interrelatedness. In particular, his innovative \u003cbr\u003ethinking on the productive interaction of consciousness and speech is \u003cbr\u003eemphasized and a sense of the 'dialogic' interaction with other current \u003cbr\u003ecritical and cultural approaches is imparted. The introduction is \u003cbr\u003eaugmented by a contextualizing commentary accompanying the selected \u003cbr\u003etexts and by a glossary of the key terminology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders \u003cbr\u003enew to the Bakhtin 'school' will find this book an invaluable \u003cbr\u003eintroduction to a complex and scattered body of work.
