Vladimir Nabokov: A Critical Study of the Novels

Vladimir Nabokov was always a controversial writer. Long before the publication of Lolita, controversy raged over the virtues of his work. His detractors insisted that he had forsaken the humanistic concerns of the Russian literary tradition, while his supporters claimed that his work actually extended and enriched that tradition. David Rampton faces these apparent contradictions head on and tries to reach a more balanced, integrated view of the novelist's achievement.Rampton, David is the author of 'Vladimir Nabokov: A Critical Study of the Novels', published 1984 under ISBN 9780521276719 and ISBN 0521276713.
