The monograph by Priscilla Meyer
is dedicated to the "Pale Fire" (1962), one of the best novels by Vladimir
Nabokov written during the American period of his creative work. The author
examines literary, folklore, mythological, historical, scientific and
philosophical origins of the novel discovering various intertextual layers and
describing mechanisms of intercultural exchange and translation, which function
in Nabokov's text. To examine literary genealogy of the "Pale Fire" the author
used a wide range of material, including Icelandic sagas, scalds' poetry,
ancient English literature, works by Shakespeare, Goethe and other authors. The
monograph was first published in 1988 and became one of the best and
authoritative works on Nabokov's prose.
