Bakhtin looks at literature as a discourse in which one, through what he dubs as
heteroglossia, can find a diversity of social speech types, a diversity of individual voicesincluding
authorial speech, the speech of narrators, and the speech of characters- and a
diversity of languages artistically organized. It is an internal stratification of any single
national language into social dialects, characteristic group behavior, language of
generations and age groups. Within the play of these voices, the reader gets acquainted
with multiple perspectives that flourish under such conditions and gets a deeper meaning
behind the lines intended by the author. This is what could be traced in both
Wordsworthʹs and Mehdi Akhavan Salesʹ poetry. In Wordsworth we come across play of
different voices through the voice of an acting consciousness or self which Bakhtin
considers to be consisted of a set of conversations, often struggles, of discrepant voices
with each other, voices speaking from different positions with different degrees of
authority. Similarly, Akhavan Sales permits play of voices through using multiplicity of
social voices coming from different social groups, different generations and age groups
who come together and, in a dialogical relationship, give voice to their ideas and points of
view coming from different consciousnesses. Through a comparative study, therefore, the
present research aims at analyzing play of voices in Wordsworthʹs The Prelude and
Akhavan Salesʹ Life Says: Still We Must Live in the light of Bakhtinʹs theories of
dialogism.
