AS: Jansy tells me that I should
have mentioned that Albion is the name of the island of Great
Britain.
JM: For the benefit of foreign readers, I
mean... During my childhood "Albion" was merely a brand
of "gomma arabica" used at school.
btw: There's a mistake in my last posting on VN and R.Jacobson. The
word "Formalist" was missing.
Cf. Michael Glynn's "Vladimir Nabokov:
Bergsonian and Russian Formalist Influences in his novels"
(palgrave,macmillan,2007)
