Dialogism And Lyric Self-Fashioning: Bakhtin and the Voices of a Genre
Cranberry, NJ: Susquehanna University Press, 2008. First edition. Hardcover. Fine and bright in fine dust jacket. First edition. Hardcover. 265 pp (w/ bibliography & index). Using Mikhail Bakhtin's "multi-voiced" definition of lyric subjectivity as a starting point, this volume of essays investigates the manifestation of competing "voices" within the tradition of lyric poetry. These essays engage multiple elements of dialogism, including the convergence of masculine and feminine voices, public and private discourses, intertextuality and the "voices of the past" - the idea that no matter how private the voice of the lyric speaker, nearly every utterance is formed from and then positioned between what others have said.
