In all its forms, it questions 'literature', disturbing the singleness and fixity of the written text with the fluid interactivity of conversation. In this clear and concise guide to the multiple significance of the term, Peter Womack: outlines the history of dialogue form, looking at Platonic, Renaissance, Enlightenment and Modern examples illustrates the play of dialogue in the many 'voices' of the novel, and considers how dialogue works on the stage interprets the influential dialogic theories of Mikhail Bakhtin examines the idea that literary study itself consists of a 'dialogue' with the past presents a useful glossary and further reading section. Practical and thought-provoking, this volume is the ideal starting-point for the exploration of this diverse and fascinating literary form International languages Language 68239 ddc BK 226186 226186 0 0 ddc 0 0 MAENG SACPG SACPG 2023-01-02 Vidya Vihar 383.00 0 401.43 WOMD PG024124 2023-01-03 00:00:00 450.00 2023-01-03 BK
