Reviews
‘Morris’s examination of Nabokov’s poetry and its reception is undoubtedly one of the fullest accounts of Nabokov’s poetic achievements produced so far. The book also lays the ground for future studies related to the inter-relationship between prose and poetry in the twentieth century.’
Barry P. Scherr :
'Morris has made a major contribution to the appreciation of Nabokov's oeuvre. Not only does he study both the poetry and its critical reception more thoroughly than any other previous researcher, but he has also opened paths for considering its links to Nabokov's other writings. Future scholars will undoubtedly find this book to be a valuable resource.'
