review: Editorial Reviews Review "One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1998" "Caryl Emerson is arguably the most knowledgeable and gifted Bakhtin Scholar in the United States.... The First Hundred Years of Mikhail Bakhtin provides us with fascinating glimpses of his life and his character with a history of his intellectual career in Russia and in the West, and with a serious discussion of the problematic areas of his thought." ― The New Republic "It is impossible to do more here than give a very fragmentary notion of the wealth of material contained in Emerson's book, which she presents not only with penetration but also with a responsive awareness of what it reveals about the present state of Russian culture." ― London Review of Books "One of the three or four most important books on [Bakhtin] now available in English." ― The Nation Review "Caryl Emerson has given us a major book on a major phenomenon, as readable as it is important, one that moves authoritatively from biography through literary and philosophical analysis to the cultural frameworks in which those matters take on their specific and complex resonances." ―Donald Fanger, Harvard University From the Inside Flap "Caryl Emerson has given us a major book on a major phenomenon, as readable as it is important, one that moves authoritatively from biography through literary and philosophical analysis to the cultural frameworks in which those matters take on their specific and complex resonances."-- Donald Fanger, Harvard University From the Back Cover "Caryl Emerson has given us a major book on a major phenomenon, as readable as it is important, one that moves authoritatively from biography through literary and philosophical analysis to the cultural frameworks in which those matters take on their specific and complex resonances." --Donald Fanger, Harvard University About the Author Caryl Emerson is A.
