The novelness of Bakhtin : perspectives and possibilities
The six essays in this work present interpretations and discussions of Bakhtin's essential yet difficult ideas on novelness. The contributions develop the concept of novelness beyond mere exegesis and deliver a wide range of approaches to the perspectives and possibilities of the concept.
