OverviewEthics and Dialogue engages with four of the most complex authors of the twentieth centuryDSLevinas, Bakhtin, Mandel'shtam, and CelanDSin a hermeneutically and methodologically innovative manner. Construing Levinas's ethical philosophy in conjunction with Bakhtin's philosophy of the act and metalinguistics, as an interpretative framework for making sense of Celan's dialogue with Mandel'shtam, the author develops a highly sophisticated mode of reading poetryDSpoethicsDSwhich takes into account both the ethical significance of poetry and the poetic significance of ethical philosophy. While documenting the viability of Levinas's and Bakhtin's philosophies, Eskin's analyses of Celan's and Mandel'shtam's poetry in the light of its philosophical underpinnings open hitherto unseen vistas on to the workings of twentieth-century poetry in general and on to European modernist and post-World War II poetry in particular.

What it touches is always very provocative. Modern Language Review A welcome rereading of Bakhtin in a Russian context... For those who think of Bakhtin only as the theorist of the novel, and Levinas as a Rabbi and philosopher, this book everywhere upsets neat categorisation and offers a powerful apology for a creative ethics of the word.
