39. Selections from the Prison Notebooks, p. 155. Bakhtin's treatment of the novel as a 'legality' of languages is a development along the lines of semantics, from the aesthetic of Hermann Cohen, who proposed a 'juridical' model of Greek tragedy, and Ivanov's notion of Dostoyevsky's novel as a 'novel-tragedy'. A similar approach is taken by another member of Bakhtin's group Lev Pumpiansky in Dostoyevsky i antichnost' (Dostoyevsky and Antiquity) Petrograd 1922, while in a preface to Turgenev's Nakanunye (On the Eve) he notes that 'judgement [sud] is inseparable from literature': Turgenev, Sochineniye (Collected Works), vol. 6, Moscow 1929, p. 9. Cohen's conception is outlined in Voloshinov's 1926 essay 'Discourse in Life and Discourse in Poetry', in Shukman, ed., Bakhtin School Papers, Essex 1983, p. 25.
