A Reader's Guide to Nabokov's "Lolita" (Studies in Russian and Slavic Literatures, Cultures, and History)

One of the most fascinating and controversial novels of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokovâ€™s Lolita is renown for its innovative style and notorious for its subject matter and influence on popular culture. A Readerâ€™s Guide to Nabokovâ€™s â€œLolitaâ€ carries readers through the intricacies of Nabokovâ€™s work and helps them achieve a better understanding of his rich artistic design. The book opens with a detailed chronology of Nabokovâ€™s life and literary career. Chapters include an analysis of the novel, a discussion of its precursors in Nabokovâ€™s work and in world literature, an essay on the character of Dolly Haze (Humbertâ€™s â€œLolitaâ€), and a commentary on the critical and cultural afterlife of the novel. The volume concludes with an annotated bibliography of selected critical reading. The guide should prove illuminating both for first-time readers of Lolita and for experienced re-readers of Nabokovâ€™s classic work.
