Bakhtin and Religion

The dimension of religion in the life and work of Mikhail Bakhtin has been fiercely contested -- and willfully ignored -- by critics. Unique in its in-depth focus on this subject, Bakhtin and Religion: A Feeling for Faith brings together leading British, American, and Russian scholars to investigate the role of religious thought in shaping and framing Bakhtin's writings.
