The Cambridge Companion to Nabokov provides a concise introduction to the creative world of one of the twentieth century’s most important writers. Fourteen individual essays cover such topics as Nabokov’s storytelling techniques, his achievements as a short story writer, his evolution as a novelist, his relationship to the literary currents of his day, his world-view, and his lasting artistic legacy, particularly through Lolita, his most famous and controversial work. The volume also contains a chronology of his life and a guide to further reading.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The breadth of these essays–some have titles as expansive as ‘Nabokov’s Worldview’–does not negatively impact their depth. Though the Cambridge Companion does not always break through the density of Nabokov’s art, these scholars to describe its complexity exquisitely.”

– Review of Contemporary Fiction Theodore Louis McDermott

“I recommend it to anyone interested in Nabokov.”
– Eric Naiman, Slavic and East European Journal
