The reviewed monograph is concerned with the problems of the reception of M. Bakhtin’s personality and ideas in the period from the 1910s to 2020s. Along with chapters containing overviews of Bakhtin’s life in the context of reception, summaries of late 1920s — early 1930s response to his Problems of Dostoevsky’s Creative Art [Problemy tvorchestva Dostoevskogo], as well as views of his other works in the 1940s–1970s and post-Soviet era, the study features personalized trajectories of Bakhtin’s reception by Soviet philologists and philosophers (L. Pinsky, G. Fridlender, V. Kirpotin, M. Lifshits, A. Losev, etc.). The contributors to The Bakhtin Encyclopaedia not only introduce new scholarly sources, disprove long-standing myths, and add important nuances to well-known facts, but also suggest new directions of Bakhtin studies. The book is aimed at those interested in 20th-century Russian intellectual history and the current problems of the humanities.
