Bakhtin and the Classics

This contributed volume is the first devoted to the relationship between Bakhtin and the study of classical antiquity. Branham has collected essays by classicists and a few Slavists that explore the intersection of Bakhtin's thought and classical scholarship.

"An extraordinarily rich collection. It will be indispensable to classicists interested in Bakhtin's theories and approach as well as to literary critics and students of ancient literature generally. It is first-rate, and there is nothing else like it available." --David Konstan, Brown University
