About this book

This first comparative study of the philosophers and literary critics, Walter Benjamin and Mikhail Bakhtin, focuses on the two thinkers' conceptions of experience and form, investigating parallels between Bakhtin's theories of responsibility, dialogue, and the novel, and Benjamin's theories of translation, montage, allegory, and the aura.

Reviews

'Tim Beasley-Murray happily possesses the philosophical sophistication and historical knowledge to undertake a serious study, and has produced a thoughtful reading of both his subjects, in the process demonstrating what almost seems ineluctability in their dialogue...This is...an important book that should be read not only by those with a professional interest in Benjamin or Bakhtin, but by all serious workers in the humanities...and anyone else concerned to better understand our present situatedness in the dilemma of the modern.' Michael Holquist, Yale University, SEER
