Sobranie sočinenij (1996–2012) both frustrates and supports this simplifying narrative. The texts it presents, many radically different from earlier published versions, suggest that Bakhtin's commitment to the stylistics of the novel was permanent and enduring and that its sociological colouring was more than strategic. The notes and commentary, however, seek to corral the energy of the material, by persistently interpreting Bakhtin's works as separable into philosophical kernels and sociological/stylistic shells." /> Editing history - Hirschkop Ken | sdvig press
