FA asked about the differences b/w versions of The Eye. There are some
significant differences, which, if memory serves, are written about in
Jane Grayson's _Nabokov Translated: A Comparison of Nabokov's Russian and
English Prose_.

I'll add this query to your query. Was the first English translation also
titled "The Eye"? I've wondered, sometimes, if we might read PF's "New
Wye" as "New Eye." Actually, I favor "New I," since that's what Kinbote is.
