Call for Papers: (MLA, 2005, Washington, DC)

(1) Nabokov and European Modernism

Despite Vladimir Nabokov's dislike of literary labels, he clearly acknowledged his position in modern literary culture and history. We seek papers that present critical interpretations of Nabokov's early texts and "place" him within British, French, and German literary cultures of the early 20th century.

Please submit abstracts of 250 words, plus a brief CV, by March 15, to Anita Kondoyanidi at akondoyanidi@libertyfund.org
