Rhetoric appears to be a marginal topic for the Bakhtin School and for most Bakhtin scholars, but many rhetorical critics, theorists, and teachers have nonetheless found the school's work compelling and challenging. This book collects ten essays by Don Bialostosky focusing specifically on the ways that Bakhtin's work conceptualizes and elaborates the functions of rhetoric, including dialogism, the art of discourse, poetics, carnivalesque, and much more.
