If I may toot my own horn here, in my article "Nabokov's Wiener Schnitzel Dreams: Anti-Freudian Poetics in Despair" (Nabokov Studies 7), I attempted to explore some of the historical context behind VN's decades-long crusade against popularized Freudianism.  I am currently developing that project further, and would be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions that article might provoke (detailed discussions and ruthless critiques are most welcome off-list).

Galimberti . . . is free, again, of the 'ethical' prejudices, enlivened by the spectre of negative fallout from an unpalatable theory were it to prove truthful, which so worried Nabokov here into spouting, oddly for him, the usual clichés.
