[PDF] Vladimir Nabokov and the Ideological Aesthetic: A Study of his Novels and Plays, 1926-1939 (29) (Cultural History & Literary Imagination)

The perception of Nabokov as an apolitical writer is one which the author encouraged in the latter part of his career, despite having lived through the traumatic historical ruptures of the past century. This book argues that ideology and politics actually had an indelible effect on his literary aesthetics and explores his work through this lens.
