Transitional Nabokov, ed. Will Norman and Duncan White. Now available
from Peter Lang, UK:
SYNOPSIS: This collection of original essays is concerned with one of
the most important writers of the twentieth century: Vladimir Nabokov.
The book features contributions from both well-established and new
scholars, and represents the latest developments in research. The essays
all address the possibility of reading Nabokov's works as operating
between categories of various kinds - whether linguistic, formal,
historical or national. In doing so, they explore exciting new paradigms
for approaching Nabokov's oeuvre.
The volume brings together a diverse range of critical voices from
around the world, to respond to some of the most urgent questions raised
about Nabokov's work. Topics covered include the relationship between
his artistic and scientific work, his influences on contemporary
fiction, and the development of his aesthetics over his career. Drawing
variously on archive research, alternative readings of key texts, and
fresh theoretical approaches, this book injects new impetus into Nabokov
studies as it continues to evolve as a discipline.
