Summary:

Nabokov's complex multi-lingual and multi-cultural writings offer new delights and present new challenges to their readers. This volume reflects the richness of this artistic world and the variety of responses it evokes. Fourteen original essays by an international grouping of leading Nabokov specialists and scholars offer new insights into formative influences on thought and the dominant agencies that structure his writing: emigration, the "two worlds" theme, and multilingualism.
