| One of the most fascinating and controversial novels of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokovâ s Lolita is renown for its innovative style and notorious for its subject matter and influence on popular culture. A Readerâ s Guide to Nabokovâ s â Lolitaâ carries readers through the intricacies of Nabokovâ s work and helps them achieve a better understanding of his rich artistic design. The book opens with a detailed chronology of Nabokovâ s life and literary career. Chapters include an analysis of the novel, a discussion of its precursors in Nabokovâ s work and in world literature, an essay on the character of Dolly Haze (Humbertâ s â Lolitaâ ), and a commentary on the critical and cultural afterlife of the novel. The volume concludes with an annotated bibliography of selected critical reading. The guide should prove illuminating both for first-time readers of Lolita and for experienced re-readers of Nabokovâ s classic work. |
