Nabokov at the Limits: Redrawing Critical Boundaries

Border Crossings Series
Garland Publishing, Inc., 1999.

Lisa Zunshine, ed.

This volume represents an attempt to negotiate the boundaries of contemporary Nabokov scholarship by addressing several themes hitherto unexplored and even considered off-limits by students of fiction. Although Nabokov's strongly expressed aesthetic preferences seem to have effectively forestalled certain venues of scholarly investigation, this collection seeks to demonstrate that it is possible to open up formerly proscribed venues of inquiry without violating the personal and aesthetic integrity of the writer.
