The present volume, the Dialectics of Literary Consciousness, is a collection of academic discussions on the processes of writing, reading, interpretation, and translation. Nature and Environment: Poetic Imprints of Shifting Perspectives, Matthew Arnold: The Voice and the Victim of Bourgeois Culture, The Dialectics of Interpretation: Aspects of Linguistic and Semantic Convergences, Barthes and Bakhtin: Monologic and Dialogic Searches for Meaning, The Reader and Sahrudaya, and The Political Philosophy of Translation are the essays included in this volume. They provide rational answers to the questions of literary creation and criticism. They are substantial contributions to Marxian literary aesthetics as they strive to substitute the misty abstractions of philosophical idealism with the lucid logic of dialectical and historical materialism.
