Vladimir Nabokov, bilingual writer of dazzling masterpieces, is a
phenomenon that both resists and requires contextualization. This
book challenges the myth of Nabokov as a sole genius who worked in
isolation from his surroundings, as it seeks to anchor his work
firmly within the historical, cultural, intellectual and political
contexts of the turbulent twentieth century. Vladimir Nabokov in
Context maps the ever-changing sites, people, cultures and
ideologies of his itinerant life which shaped the production and
reception of his work. Concise and lively essays by leading
scholars reveal a complex relationship of mutual influence between
Nabokov's work and his environment. Appealing to a wide community
of literary scholars this timely companion to Nabokov's writing
offers new insights and approaches to one of the most important,
and yet most elusive writers of modern literature.
