Glynn attacks the trend in criticism of Nabokov that reads his work as a Symbolist and instead suggests that a large part of the novelist s work is founded on a dynamic interaction with the theories of Viktor Shklovsky and Henri Bergson. This study explores how Nabokov s project has been transformed by the philosophy of Shklovsky and Bergson into a fictional universe which is at once playful and serious, experimental yet rooted in the everyday, both engaged and moral, a convincing answer to the demeaning arguments that the writer is nothing more than a pure stylist.\" - Robert Lawson-Peebles, University of Exeter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNabokov as Anti Symbolist Nabokov and Russian Formalism Nabokov and Bergson Pale Fire Lolita Despair Deluded Worlds: King, Queen, Knave, Invitation to a Beheading, and Bend Sinister Afterword","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan Us","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769310937431,"sku":"9781403979858","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781403979858.jpg?v=1758720576","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/vladimir-nabokov-bergsonian-and-russian-formalist-influences-in-his-novels-9781403979858","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
