Art and Answerability : Early Philosophical Essays, Paperback / softback Book

Art and Answerability : Early Philosophical Essays Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael Holquist

Part of the University of Texas Press Slavic Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Art and Answerability contains three of Mikhail Bakhtin's early essays from the years following the Russian Revolution, when Bakhtin and other intellectuals eagerly participated in the debates, lectures, demonstrations, and manifesto writing of the period. Because they predate works that have already been translated, these essays—"Art and Answerability," "Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity," and "The Problem of Content, Material, and Form in Verbal Art"—are essential to a comprehensive understanding of Bakhtin's later works.

A superb introduction by Michael Holquist sets out the major themes and concerns of the three essays and identifies their place in the canon of Bakhtin's work and in intellectual history.

The introduction, together with Vadim Liapunov's scholarly gloss, makes these essays accessible to students as well as scholars.
