Re: [NABOKV-L] FW: Frost & ShadeI was initially puzzled by Carolyn's comments ( I was reminded of Shade's notations to himself within the poem, which are then echoed in Kinbote's publishing notes to the printer...), but from what she explained off-line I understood she meant JS's and CK's marginal commentaries addressed to a publisher or scribbled in rejected index-cards. She was not discussing PF's commentaries by Kinbote.
Perhaps the forthcoming edition of Frost's notebooks, transcribed and annotated by Faggen, reveals Frost's unpublished "notes for further use" through a non-Kinbotean implementation ["Faggen decided not only to transcribe, but also annotate, the notebooks. This involved developing a complex cross-referencing system that Faggen describes as "somewhat more of an interpretive guide than a concordance, but less than an index of ideas or, as they used to call it at the University of Chicago, a 'Syntopicon.'" ( "Taking Frost at his Word", Kate Shuster)] .Nabokov's own were not kept in notebooks,neither were Shade's. And yet, in a typical "involutive" ( or should they be described as "involutional"?) tactic, many were then quoted in Strong Opinions or incorporated to the poem Pale Fire.
Carolyn Kunin's association bt. Frost's ideas, contained in his notebook, and JS's and Kinbote's instructions to a publisher, still eludes me.
