Reviews
'Hirschkop, who writes with flair, meticulously surveys both the primary and secondary sources and offers a trenchant and comprehensive critique ... an important book.' D.B. Johnson, Choice, Jul/Aug. 2000., 'undoubtedly the most reliable and up-to-date biographical excursus onBakhtin and the Bakhtin circle available in English.'Galin Tihanov, THES 20/10/00., Hirschkop's study excels on numerous levels: meticulous and elegant in execution and style, exhaustively researched, acribically documented, and rigorously argued, it betrays its author's masterful grip of his subject - both biographical-historical and conceptual-philosophical ... has certainly set new critical standards for Bakhtin scholarship to come., 'This thoughtful, erudite and committed study of Bakhtin's ideas and theirrole in the (re)definition of the democratic project should be welcome as asubstantial contribution to our dialogue with and appropriation of Bakhtin'sthought; an added advantage is Hirschkop's engaged and lively prose style, whichis likely to communicate his arguments to a wider readership.'Galin Tihanov, THES 20/10/00., 'Hirschkop has made a significant contribution to our understanding of animportant and influential thinker.'Craig Brandist, Radical Philosophy, 104, Nov/Dec.00., 'Hirschkop offers a comprehensive reading of some of Bakhtin's central texts ... He has also included a biographical survey of Bakhtin's life and work based on recent research published in Russia and the West. This readable and rhetorically seductive part sandwiched between the two moresubstantiallly analytical parts of the book renders excellent service to scholars who are unable to follow the ever growing Russian Bakhtiniana ... incisive and historically scrupulous narrative.' Galin Tihanov, THES 20/10/00., Intellectually vigorous ... subtle and wide-ranging interpretation ... asks several compelling qustions., 'In this book, Ken Hirschkop builds upon recent advances in Bakhtin studies to provide the most informed critical study of Bakhtin's work to date. He draws on the extensive research that has been carried out both in Russia and in the West, and examines this research and Bakhtin's own workthrough a far more philosophically astute lens than as been used hitherto ... Hirschkop provides a useful window onto the Russian-language research for English speakers.'Craig Brandist, Radical Philosophy, 104, Nov/Dec.00., 'In this book, Ken Hirschkop builds upon recent advances in Bakhtin studies to provide the most informed critical study of Bakhtin's work to date.

Synopsis
This book makes a radical break with earlier interpretations of Bakhtin's work. Using recent Russian scholarship, Ken Hirschkop explodes many of the myths which have surrounded Bakhtin and his work and lays the ground for a new, more historically acute sense of his achievement. Through a comprehensive reading of Bakhtin's work, Hirschkop demonstrates that his discussion of the philosophy of language, literary history, popular-festive culture, and the phenomenology of everyday life revolved around a lifelong search for a new kind of modern ethical culture. A detailed examination of the major works reveals the careful interweaving of philosophical and historical argument which makes Bakhtin at once so compelling and so frustrating a writer. Hirschkop treats Bakhtin not as a metaphysician or a philosopher for the ages, but as a writer inevitably drawn into the historical conflicts produced by a modernizing and democratizing Europe. As a consequence, Bakhtin becomes a more sober but also more original writer, with a striking contribution to make to the definition of the democratic project., This book makes a radical break with earlier interpretations of Bakhtin's work.

As a consequence, Bakhtin becomes a more sober but also more original writer, with a striking contribution to make to the definition of the democratic project., In Mikhail Bakhtin: An Aesthetic for Democracy, Ken Hirschkop shows that behind the familiar mythical figure lies a writer bound up with the historical crises of his time. Using the latest Russian scholarship, Hirschkop shows that Bakhtin's analysis of language, literature, and culture were all part of a continuing search for an ethical culture which would be simultaneously modern, democratic, and aesthetically satisfying.
