Vol. I 1993
NABOKOV STUDIES
Table of Contents
Joel Brattin----""The Intersection of McEwen and Wheaton: A Nabokovian
Locus Identified." The paper pinpoints the location of an epic row
between Humbert and Lolita in Clare, Michigan. Photograph by author.
Julian Connolly---"Nabokov and Narrative Point of View: The Case of
`The Letter that never Reached Russia'."
Jane Grayson---"Washington's GIFT: Materials pertaining to Nabokov's
GIFT in the Library of Congress." The LC Nabokov Archive contains
both materials that were composed for THE GIFT but not used, and
materials for a second volume that was never written. The article
examines these drafts in relation to Nabokov's oeuvre.
D. Barton Johnson---"The Nabokov-Sartre Controversy" An examination of
the relationship between Nabokov's 1926 short story "Terror" and
Sartre's 1938 NAUSEA and the subsequent antagonism between the two
men.
Stephanie Merkel---"Vladimir Nabokov's KING, QUEEN, KNAVE and the Com-
media Dell'Arte." An analysis of the early novel in terms of character
types and motifs from the Commedia."
Charles Nicol---"Necessary Introduction or Fatal Fatuity: The Extended
Introduction to BEND SINISTER." Establishes a paradigm for Nabokov's
numerous introductions and devotes particular attention to subtexts in
BEND SINISTER's "Foreword".
Maxim Shrayer---"`Cloud, Castle, Lake' and the Problem of Entering
Nabokov's Otherworld. A close analysis of this story with
implications for much of the short fiction.
Jonathan B. Sisson---"Nabokov's Cosmic Synchronization and `Something
Else'." A study of Nabokov's key concept of "cosmic synchronization"
and the literary techniques he employs to convey his sense of the
otherworld.
Susan Elizabeth Sweeney---"Sinistral Details: Nabokov, Wilson, and
HAMLET in BEND SINISTER." The article suggests that Nabokov
incorporated elements of his relationship with Edmund Wilson into his
1947 novel.
Leona Toker---"Liberal Ironists and the `Gaudily Painted Savage': On
Richard Rorty's Reading of Vladimir Nabokov." Argues that Rorty's
well-known essay misreads Nabokov in certain respects.
