Indispensable for understanding the historical, cultural and intellectual contexts of Nabokov's work for students of English, American and Russian literary and cultural studies. This book is also essential reading for established scholars wanting to keep up with the new approaches and methodologies in Nabokov studies which this collection showcases.
Vladimir Nabokov, bilingual writer of dazzling masterpieces, is a phenomenon that both resists and requires contextualization. This book challenges the myth of Nabokov as a sole genius who worked in isolation from his surroundings, as it seeks to anchor his work firmly within the historical, cultural, intellectual and political contexts of the turbulent twentieth century. Vladimir Nabokov in Context maps the ever-changing sites, people, cultures and ideologies of his itinerant life which shaped the production and reception of his work. Concise and lively essays by leading scholars reveal a complex relationship of mutual influence between Nabokov''s work and his environment. Appealing to a wide community of literary scholars this timely companion to Nabokov''s writing offers new insights and approaches to one of the most important, and yet most elusive writers of modern literature.
