"Nabokov's Shakespeare" is a comprehensive study of an important
and interesting literary relationship. It explores the many and
deep ways in which the works of Shakespeare, the greatest writer of
the English language, penetrate the novels of Vladimir Nabokov, one
of the finest English prose stylists of the twentieth century. As a
Russian youth, Nabokov read all of Shakespeare, in English. He
claimed a shared birthday with the Bard, and some of his most
highly regarded novels ("Lolita, Pale Fire" and "Ada") are infused
with Shakespeare and Shakespeareanisms. Nabokov uses Shakespeare
and Shakespeare's works in a surprisingly wide variety of ways,
from the most casual references to deep thematic links.Schuman
provides a taxonomy of Nabokov's Shakespeareanisms; a quantitative
analysis of Shakespeare in Nabokov; an examination of Nabokov's
Russian works, his early English novels, the non-novelistic
writings (poetry, criticism, stories), Nabokov's major works, and
his final novels; and a discussion of the nature of literary
relationships and influence. With a Foreword by Brian Boyd.
