Dear all,
Bakhtin, or so I´m told, has claimed that all naivety in literature is
polemical. Has anybody come across this reference? He discusses both
naivety and polemics at some length in his Problems of Dostoevsky´s
Poetics, but I don´t think the two are brought to bear on one another. I
would be very grateful indeed if someone could pinpoint a specific book,
article or passage.
Yours, Gerald.
