Summary:

Using Vladimir Nabokov as its "case study", this volume approaches translation as a crucial avenue into literary history and theory, philosophy and interpretation. The book attempts to bring together issues in translation and the shift in Nabokov studies from its earlier emphasis on the "metaliterary" to the more recent "metaphysical" approach.
