_Vladimir Nabokov's LOLITA_
A Casebook
Edited by ELLEN PIFER
Midway through the last century, LOLITA burst on the literary scene--a
Russian exile's extraordinary gift to American letters and the New World.
The scandal provoked by the novel's subject--the sexual passion of a
middle-aged European for a twelve-year-old American girl--was quickly
upstaged by the critical attention it received from readers, scholars, and
critics around the world.
This casebook gathers together an interview with Nabokov as well as nine
critical essays about LOLITA. The essays follow a progression focusing first
on textual and thematic features and then proceeding to broader issues and
cultural implications, including the novel's relations to other works of
literature and art and the movies adapted from it.
