See the current Nabokovian for an article on Cinderella in PNIN, which refers to Cox's compendium.

Jansy Mello: Great indication [http://www.jimandellen.org/austen/mp.calendar.html ] and comment. Thanks Carolyn! V.Nabokov’s lectures are precious to me but, at least at present, I’m not as overwhelmed by the application of his theories to Jane Austen as I usually am (I can feel his effort to please Edmund Wilson by accepting to include Austen in his literary pantheon.) I’m finding it very difficult to dismiss “time-space” (and “gender issues”) from her novels.
I hope you’ll also give me hints about VN’s suggestion of a Ward/Cinderella prototype.
