>Mikhail Bakhtin’s classic study of carnival, laughter, the grotesque, and medieval and renaissance folk culture has been the inspiration for countless new ideas in the humanities, in literature and the arts, and throughout human culture over the last half century.

I was meaning to get that book of Rabelais' translations by Frame (also translated Montaigne, which I enjoyed), will possibly get it alongside this because this is one of the few litcrit books which actually seems interesting to me. Bakhtin is also a huge Dostoevsky scholar it seems, so more books to read if I like this one.

my high school english teacher translated sections of bakhtin and baudrillard for us to use in class because he didn't like any existing translations. kind of wonder if he's on /lit/ these days.

I loved what I read then -- may need to pick this up.

Good news
Cheers anon

I didn't know about this. Sounds more interesting than Rabelais works.
