EDITOR'S NOTE. Martin Green's book cited below  is quite useful---as is his Children of the Sun--a study of British modernism with many refs to VN.

Subject: Commedia dell'Arte & Nabokov

Going through some ballet books, I checked the index of The Triumph of Pierrot, The Commedia dell'Arte and the Modern Imagination and discovered that not only Diaghilev and Meyerhold but also Nabokov, Kuzmin, Akhmatova get considerable note in the book. The authors are Martin Green and John Swan, publisher Penn State U Press ('86, revised '93).
