A Reader's Guide to Nabokov's "Lolita" by Julian Connolly

[christa kling]

Academic Studies Press is pleased to announce that A Reader's Guide to Nabokov's "Lolita" by Julian Connolly will publish in September.
 
 
Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is one of the most fascinating and controversial novels of the twentieth century. This book seeks to guide readers through the intricacies of Nabokov's work and to help them achieve a better understanding of his rich artistic design. Chapters include an analysis of the novel, a discussion of its precursors in Nabokov's work and in world literature, an essay on the character of Dolly Haze (Humbert's "Lolita") and a commentary on the critical and cultural afterlife of the novel. The volume concludes with an annotated bibliography of selected critical reading. This guide should prove illuminating both for first-time readers of Lolita and for experienced re-readers of Navokov's text.
