Vladimir Nabokov

Morris re-evaluates Nabokov's poetry and demonstrates that poetry was in fact central to his identity as an author and was the source of his distinctive authorial - lyric - voice.

Paul D. Morris is an associate professor at the École de traduction at the Université de Saint-Boniface, Canada. He is the author, editor and translator of various publications concerning topics of Canadian, American, Russian and Comparative literature.

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.'
