Know about the book -

The Contexts of Bakhtin is written by Professor David Shepherd and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1136651527 (ISBN 10) and 9781136651526 (ISBN 13).

The fourteen essays collected in this volume, notwithstanding their diversity of subject matter and approach, share a concern with the contexts to which we need to refer in order to understand not only the origins, but also the potential of Mikhail Bakhtin's thought: contexts both immediate and oblique, personal and impersonal, intellectual and theoretical. Five of the essays are by well-known Russian scholars whose work on Bakhtin has not previously been translated in English; the other nine papers are by established and emerging Bakhtin specialists in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
