VN Bibliography: NABOKOV at the LIMITS, ed. Lisa Zunshine
Date
Body
Part of Garland's new "Border Crossings" series (under the general
editorship of Daniel Albright), this new volume focuses on several issues
traditionally excluded from Nabokov scholarship or located on its
periphery. The topics range from Nabokov's engagement with music and
visual arts to his interest in eighteenth-century literature. The
authors include both seasoned Nabokovians and scholars at the beginning
of their academic careers. Beautiful black-and-white illustrations,
provocative and carefully researched articles, and the price that is
more provocative than beautiful.
