Chapter 5 The Gift: Vladimir Nabokov’s Eidetic Technique.

Abstract
A history of synaesthesia. From the publisher's blurb: "The author debunks Romanitc notions of the transcendental nature of synaesthesia and shows that although novelist Vladimir Nabokov was a true synaesthete and eidetic, other individuals the Romantics considered synaesthetes were not."
