Critical Choices: Reading Nabokov's Despair

David Rampton1

1 Department of English, University of Ottawa, 70 Laurier Ave. E., Ottawa, ON, Canada KIN 6N5

Despite his reputation as one of the twentieth century's most intriguing novelists, Vladimir Nabokov still seems a marginal figure in some ways. The formalistic precepts which have characterised various approaches to his work, precepts which Nabokov helped define, have been in part responsible for this. Other approaches to his work can serve as a useful supplement to, and a prolegomenon for, Nabokov criticism in the new century. The problem of intertextuality in Despair is a case in point.
