VN Bibliography: Bell-Villada
Date
Body
Discussions of VN that appear within within the context of books
treating larger subjects, especially literary theory, often escape the
attention of VN specialists.
I call your attention to Gene Bell-Villada's ART FOR ART'S SAKE
& LITERARY LIFE. How politics and markets helped shape the ideology &
culture of aestheticism 1790-1900_ (Lincoln & London: U. of Nebraska
Press, 1996). There are two substantial discussion of VN & his works.
Prof. Bell-Villada is a provocative writer and his views are certain to
provoke discussion beween Nabokovians and anti-Nabokovians.
