Drawing on unpublished archival material, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of the importance of theatrical performance in Vladimir Nabokov's thinking and writing. Siggy Frank argues that despite Nabokov's anti-theatrical stance as a drama critic, theatricality is actually at the heart of his own practice as both playwright and novelist.
Drawing on a wealth of unpublished archival material, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of the importance of theatrical performance in Vladimir Nabokov''s thinking and writing. Siggy Frank provides fresh insights into Nabokov''s wider aesthetics and arrives at new readings of his narrative fiction. As well as emphasising the importance of theatrical performance to our understanding of Nabokov''s texts, she demonstrates that the theme of theatricality runs through the central concerns of Nabokov''s art and life: the nature of fiction, the relationship between the author and his fictional world, textual origin and derivation, authorial control and textual property, literary appropriations and adaptations, and finally the transformation of the writer himself from the Russian émigré writer Sirin to the American novelist Nabokov.
