Other title information: Four essays
Annotation: These essays reveal Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975)—known in the West largely through his studies of Rabelais and Dostoevsky—as a philosopher of language, a cultural historian, and a major theoretician of the novel. The Dialogic Imagination presents, in superb English translation, four selections from Voprosy literatury i estetiki (Problems of literature and esthetics), published in Moscow in 1975. The volume also contains a lengthy introduction to Bakhtin and his thought and a glossary of terminology. Bakhtin uses the category "novel" in a highly idiosyncratic way, claiming for it vastly larger territory than has been traditionally accepted. For him, the novel is not so much a genre as it is a force, "novelness," which he discusses in "From the Prehistory of Novelistic Discourse." Two essays, "Epic and Novel" and "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel," deal with literary history in Bakhtin's own unorthodox way. In the final essay, he discusses literature and language in general, which he sees as stratified, constantly changing systems of subgenres, dialects, and fragmented "languages" in battle with one another.

Annotation: More elaborately and self-consciously than anywhere in the West, Russian criticism has developed three major schools. One of these looks for the essence of literature in its philosophical and religious ideas: writers like Berdjaev, mainly interested in an interpretation of Dostoevskij, see literature as a way of knowing the absolute. A second school is the social: literature is not only a mirror of society but an incitement to social thought and action. In its Marxist version, social criticism has become the official Soviet creed and is thus felt today as peculiarly representative of Russian criticism. But a third school, that of Formalism, is so far much less known and much less accessible in the West. It arose around 1914 and was suppressed around 1930. Russian Formalism keeps the work of art itself in the center of attention: it sharply emphasizes the difference between literature and life, it rejects the usual biographical, psychological, and sociological explanations of literature.
