Project
The author as reader. The poetics of Vladimir Nabokov's Lectures on Literature
The project aims for an analysis of the poetical system that grounds Vladimir Nabokov's Lectures on Literature, the classes on world literature which the author taught between 1941 and 1959 at the universities of Wellesley and Cornell. The central focus of the analysis lies with the interaction between the components author, reader and the autonomy of the literary text.
